Abstract

In this paper we develop a prototype of an image management system supporting the user organizing his images with the help of semantic annotations. The system automatically contributes such annotations to close the gap between images and concepts expressing their content. We propose a novel integration into a Semantic Desktop and the usage of Wikipedia to address the common problem of initial knowledge acquisition and improvement of the performance. With an evaluation on a challenging dataset out system outperforms a purely image processing based approach by 30%.
