In order to satisfy the requirement of users to automatically retrieve Web images with natural language, a retrieval system for Web images based on semantic analysis is designed in the paper. Compared with the system based on keywords and the system based on content, the retrieval system based on semantic analysis allows users to describe its requirement with natural language. The system would analyze the semantic information and other features about target image, retrieve relevant images from image database and display them to users. The retrieval system would be helpful for users to retrieve images with a more convenient method.
In order to satisfy the requirement of educators to automatically construct educational resource database with Web images, the paper designs and implements a collection and semantic annotation system for Web images. With the help of meta-search engine, the system collects Web images and their associated texts. In order to annotate semantic keywords, semantic dictionaries are built. Based on semantic dictionaries, the system annotates semantic keywords for Web images. The system is composed with image collection module and semantic annotation module, which are respectively divided into five and three child modules. The paper introduces the design and implementation of the system in detail. The collection and semantic annotation system can automatically search interested images, download them, annotate them with semantic keywords and store them into educational resource database, which would relieve the workload of educators greatly. The experimental results demonstrate that the system is efficient for collection and annotation of Web images, which can basically satisfy the requirement of the construction of educational resource
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
