Knowledge propagation in large image databases using neighborhood information

Published: 28 November 2011 Publication History

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reduce to a minimum the level of human intervention in the semantic annotation process of images. Ideally, only one copy of each object of interest would be labeled manually, and the labels would then be propagated automatically to all other occurrences of the objects in the database. To that end, we propose a neighbor-based influence propagation approach KProp which builds a voting model and propagates the knowledge associated to some objects to similar objects. We show that KProp can perform efficiently through matrix computations and achieve better performance with fewer labeled examples per object.
