Abstract

Annotating images with a description of the content can facilitate the organization, storage and retrieval of image databases. It can also be useful in processing images, by taking into account the scene depicted, in intelligent scanners, digital cameras, photocopiers, and printers. We present here our experimentation on indoor/outdoor/close-up content-based image classification. More specifically, we show that it is possible to relate low-level visual features to semantic photo categories, such as indoor, outdoor and close-up, using tree classifiers. We have designed and experimentally compared several classification strategies, producing a classifier that can provide a reasonably good performance on a generic photograph database.
