TLDR
A new interactive system: a game that is fun and can be used to create valuable output that addresses the image-labeling problem and encourages people to do the work by taking advantage of their desire to be entertained.Abstract:
We introduce a new interactive system: a game that is fun and can be used to create valuable output. When people play the game they help determine the contents of images by providing meaningful labels for them. If the game is played as much as popular online games, we estimate that most images on the Web can be labeled in a few months. Having proper labels associated with each image on the Web would allow for more accurate image search, improve the accessibility of sites (by providing descriptions of images to visually impaired individuals), and help users block inappropriate images. Our system makes a significant contribution because of its valuable output and because of the way it addresses the image-labeling problem. Rather than using computer vision techniques, which don't work well enough, we encourage people to do the work by taking advantage of their desire to be entertained.read more

ImageNet: A large-scale hierarchical image database
TL;DR: A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets.

The Pascal Visual Object Classes (VOC) Challenge
TL;DR: The state-of-the-art in evaluated methods for both classification and detection are reviewed, whether the methods are statistically different, what they are learning from the images, and what the methods find easy or confuse.

Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications
TL;DR: Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications explores the variety of techniques commonly used to analyze and interpret images and takes a scientific approach to basic vision problems, formulating physical models of the imaging process before inverting them to produce descriptions of a scene.

LabelMe: A Database and Web-Based Tool for Image Annotation
TL;DR: In this article, a large collection of images with ground truth labels is built to be used for object detection and recognition research, such data is useful for supervised learning and quantitative evaluation.

Image retrieval: Ideas, influences, and trends of the new age
TL;DR: Almost 300 key theoretical and empirical contributions in the current decade related to image retrieval and automatic image annotation are surveyed, and the spawning of related subfields are discussed, to discuss the adaptation of existing image retrieval techniques to build systems that can be useful in the real world.

Object Recognition as Machine Translation: Learning a Lexicon for a Fixed Image Vocabulary
TL;DR: This work shows how to cluster words that individually are difficult to predict into clusters that can be predicted well, and cannot predict the distinction between train and locomotive using the current set of features, but can predict the underlying concept.

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical model for organizing image collections which integrates semantic information provided by associate text and image features is presented. But the model is not suitable for unsupervised learning for object recognition.

Finding Naked People
TL;DR: A content-based retrieval strategy that can tell whether there are naked people present in an image and an effective mask for skin regions is demonstrated, which introduces a new view of object recognition.
