Abstract

This paper presents an approach for integrating perceptual signal features (i.e. color and texture) and semantic information within a coupled architecture for image indexing and retrieval. It relies on an expressive knowledge representation formalism handling high-level image descriptions and a full-text query framework. It consequently brings the level of image retrieval closer to users' needs by translating low-level signal features to high-level conceptual data and integrate them with semantic characterization within index and query structures. Experiments on a corpus of 2500 photographs validate our approach by considering recall-precision indicators over a set of 46 full-text queries coupling high-level semantic and signal features.
