ABSTRACT
|
| Generic algorithms for automatic object recognition and/or scene classification are unfortunately not producing reliable and robust results. A common approach to cope with this, still unresolved, issue is to restrict the problem at hand to a specific domain. In this paper we propose an algorithm to improve the results of image analysis, based on the contextual information we have, which relates the detected concepts to any given domain. Initial results produced by the image analysis module are domain-specific semantic concepts and are being re-adjusted appropriately by the suggested algo-rithm, by means of fine-tuning the degrees of confi-dence of each detected concept. The novelty of the pre-sented work is twofold: i) the knowledge-assisted image analysis algorithm, that utilizes an ontology infrastruc-ture to handle the knowledge and MPEG-7 visual de-scriptors for the region labeling and ii) the context-driven re-adjustment of the degrees of confidence of the detected labels.
