TLDR
A statistical natural language processing model for image retrieval is presented, which integrates semantic information provided by WordNet, an online lexical reference system, and low-level visual features, to strengthen the association between images and the textual description of a concept.Abstract:
Learning the semantics of image retrieval using both text and visual information is a challenging research issue in content-based image retrieval systems. In this paper, we present a statistical natural language processing model for image retrieval, which integrates semantic information provided by WordNet, an online lexical reference system, and low-level visual features. In our system, the semantic hierarchy of word senses from WordNet is used to strengthen the association between images and the textual description of a concept. A statistical keyword selection algorithm is followed to choose the most representative keywords to annotate those images of the concept. We test our model on a landscape image database with 10 different concepts. Our experimental results show that our approach could greatly improve the retrieval accuracy. The results also demonstrate the high potential of our approach in building ontologies of image databases.read more

Semantic Hierarchies for Visual Object Recognition
Marcin Marszalek,Cordelia Schmid +1 more
TL;DR: The semantics of image labels are used to integrate prior knowledge about inter-class relationships into the visual appearance learning and to build and train a semantic hierarchy of discriminative classifiers and how to use it to perform object detection.

Semantic feedback for interactive image retrieval
TL;DR: This system proposes a novel feedback solution for semantic retrieval: semantic feedback, which allows the system to interact with users directly at the semantic level and substantially improves the image retrieval performance of the proposed system.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.
