影像註解是將影像加上一組預定的關鍵字,主要使用於視覺資訊的管理。影像註解可以應用於不同的領域例如生物科學、軍事、網路影像分類、搜尋…等。
邊緣/內部的像素分類特徵(BIC features)是非常簡潔和有效的特徵,因為它可以擷取顏色、形成和紋理資訊。但是BIC特徵對於每個特徵的利用率相差很大。因此我們提出利用Hilbert-scan和重覆分割的方法來改善利用率的問題進而提高影像註解的正確率。最後我們的實驗是註解60個不同種類共6000張的影像來證明我們提出的方法是有效。


Image annotation refers to the labeling of images with a set of predefined keywords that is mainly used for visual information management. Image annotation can be applied in a variety of domains such as biomedicine, military, web image classification, search, etc. Image annotation employs low-level features to distinguish image contents such as color, shape, texture, etc.
The Border/Interior pixel Classification (BIC) features [15] are very compact and efficient features that capture color, shape, and texture information. But the BIC features inherit the problem that the differences on utilization rates of each feature are high.
We propose to employ the Hilbert-Scan method and the Iterative Partitioning Method (IPM) to improve the utilization rates of each feature which results in higher accuracy for image annotation. Finally, we show that our proposed method is effective in annotating 6000 images in 60 categories.
