With the exponential growth of massive image data, automatic image annotation is becoming more important in image management and retrieval. Traditional image region annotation methods, through machine learning and low-level visual features, typically yield incorrect annotation results owing to the influence of the Semantic Gap. We herein propose a novel label refinement method for improving the image region annotation results. A spatial position relation graph with co-occurrence relations and spatial position relations among labels is proposed to analyze the latent semantic correlations among image region labels. Moreover, an incremental iterative random-walking algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the region relation graph for detecting non-dependable regions whose labels do not fit the semantic context of an image. Subsequently, a graph matching algorithm with semantic correlation and spatial relation analysis is proposed for non-dependable region label completion. Experiments on Corel5K demonstrate that our proposed spatial-position-relation-graph- based label refinement method can achieve good performance for image region label refinement. |
