Automatic Image Annotation based on Dense Weighted Regional Graph

Automatic image annotation refers to create text labels in accordance with images' context automatically. Although, numerous studies have been conducted in this area for the past decade, existence of multiple labels and semantic gap between these labels and visual low-level features reduced its performance accuracy. In this paper, we suggested an annotation method, based on dense weighted regional graph. In this method, clustering areas was done by forming a dense regional graph of area classification based on strong fuzzy feature vector in images with great precision, as by weighting edges in the graph, less important areas are removed over time and thus semantic gap between low-level features of image and human interpretation of high-level concepts reduces much more. To evaluate the proposed method, COREL database, with 5,000 samples have been used. The results of the images in this database, show acceptable performance of the proposed method in comparison to other methods.
