Abstract

The explosive growth of World Wide Web has already made it the biggest image repository. Despite some image search engines provide con-venient access to web images, they frequently yield unwanted results. Locating needed and relevant images remains a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel ranking model named EagleRank for web image search engine. In EagleRank, multiple sources of evidence related to the images are considered, including image surrounding text passages, terms in special HTML tags, website types of the images, the hyper-textual structure of the web pages and even the user feedbacks. Meanwhile, the flexibility of EagleRank allows it to combine other potential factors as well. Based on inference network model, EagleRank also gives sufficient support to Boolean AND and OR operators. Our experimental results indicate that EagleRank has better performance than traditional approaches considering only the text from web pages.
