ABSTRACT
In order to maximize the benefit of the huge repository of digital images available both publicly and in private collections, intelligent matchmaking tools are required. Unfortunately, most image search engines rely on free-text search which often returns inaccurate sets of results based on the recurrence of the search keywords in the text accompanying the images. In this paper we present a semantically-enabled image annotation and retrieval engine that relies on methodically structured ontologies for image annotation, thus allowing for more intelligent reasoning about the image content and subsequently obtaining a more accurate set of results and a richer set of alternatives matchmaking the original query.

Retrieve images by understanding semantic links and clustering image fragments
The main obstacle to realize real semantic-based image retrieval is that semantic description of versatile images is difficult. The basic ideas of this paper are that the semantics of an object can be refined through top-down orthogonal semantic ...
Utilising semantic technologies for intelligent indexing and retrieval of digital images
The proliferation of digital media has led to a huge interest in classifying and indexing media objects for generic search and usage. In particular, we are witnessing a colossal growth in digital image repositories that are difficult to navigate using ...
