Automatic Image Tagging Using Community-Driven Online Image Databases

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5811))

Abstract

Automatic image tagging is becoming increasingly important to organize large amounts of image data. To identify concepts in images, these tagging systems rely on large sets of annotated image training sets. In this work we analyze image sets taken from online community-driven image databases, such as Flickr, for use in concept identification. Real-world performance is measured using our flexible tagging system, Tagr.
