Cue Integration for Medical Image Annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the algorithms and results of our participation to the image annotation task of ImageCLEFmed 2007. We proposed a multi-cue approach where images are represented both by global and local descriptors. These cues are combined following two SVMbased strategies. The first algorithm, called Discriminative Accumulation Scheme (DAS), trains an SVM for each feature, and considers as output of each classifier the distance from the separating hyperplane. The final decision is taken on a linear combination of these distances. The second algorithm, that we call Multi Cue Kernel (MCK), uses a new Mercer kernel which can accept as input different features while keeping them separated. The DAS algorithm obtained a score of 29.9, which ranked fifth among all submissions. The MCK algorithm with the one-vs-all and with the one-vs-one multiclass extensions of SVM scored respectively 26.85 and 27.54. These runs ranked first and second among all submissions.

Discriminative cue integration for medical image annotation
Automatic annotation of medical images is an increasingly important tool for physicians in their daily activity. Hospitals produce nowadays an increasing amount of data. Manual annotation is very costly and prone to human mistakes. This paper proposes a multi-cue approach to automatic medical image annotation. We represent images using global and local features. These cues are then combined tog...
متن کاملCLEF2007: Image Annotation Task: an SVM-based Cue Integration Approach
This paper presents the algorithms and results of our participation to the medical image annotation task of ImageCLEFmed 2007. We proposed, as a general strategy, a multi-cue approach where images are represented both by global and local descriptors, so to capture different types of information. These cues are combined during the classification step following two alternative SVM-based strategie...

متن کاملTags Re-ranking Using Multi-level Features in Automatic Image Annotation
Automatic image annotation is a process in which computer systems automatically assign the textual tags related with visual content to a query image. In most cases, inappropriate tags generated by the users as well as the images without any tags among the challenges available in this field have a negative effect on the query's result. In this paper, a new method is presented for automatic image...
