In this paper, four individual approaches to region classification for knowledge-assisted semantic image analysis are presented and comparatively evaluated. All of the examined approaches realize knowledge-assisted analysis via implicit knowledge acquisition, i.e. are based on machine learning techniques such as Support VectorMachines (SVMs), Self Organizing Maps (SOMs), Genetic Algorithm (GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Under all examined approaches, each image is initially segmented and suitable low-level descriptors are extracted for every resulting segment. Then, each of the aforementioned classifiers is applied to associate every region with a predefined high-level semantic concept. An appropriate evaluation framework has been employed for the comparative evaluation of the above algorithms under varying experimental conditions.
