- Abstract:
-
Affective image annotation involves labeling an image with adjectives, so that those labels reflect the user’s emotional understanding of the image. The lowlevel visual features and the image semantic content are two decisive factors in the user’s emotional understanding of an image, while image content recognition is highly uncertain and affective understanding is strongly subjective. In the following study, the DempsterShafer theory was applied to represent the visual image characteristics and to model the uncertainty reasoning from those decisive factors to affective understanding. In response to the semantic recognition error, the uncertainty range of image contents to each affective factor was enlarged and a prototype affective annotation system was built to automatically label natural scenic images. Experimental results show that the DempsterShafer theory is promising for ambiguous annotation, and enlarging the uncertainty range is helpful for improving annotation precision.
