文摘

Automated annotation of digital images is a challenging task being used for indexing, retrieving, and understanding of large collections of image data. Several machine learning approaches have been proposed to model the existing associations between words and images. Each approach is trying to assign to a test image some meaningful words taking into account a set of feature vectors extracted from that image. In general for the annotation process of medical or natural images the words are retrieved from a controlled vocabulary or from an ontology. This paper presents an original approach for creating two ontologies and an original design of an image annotation system. The ontologies are created using the information provided by two distinct sources: MeSH – a vocabulary used for subject indexing and searching of journal articles in the life sciences and SAIAPR TC-12 Dataset – a set of annotated images having a vocabulary with a hierarchical structure. The annotation system is using an efficient annotation model called Cross Media Relevance Model each image being segmented using a segmentation algorithm based on a hexagonal structure.
