Abstract
This paper describes our participation at ImageCLEF 2009. We participated in the photographic retrieval task (ImageCLEFPhoto). Our method is based on cross-media pseudo-relevance feedback. We have enhanced the pseudo-relevance feedback mechanism by using semantic selectional restrictions. We use Terrier for text retrieval and our own simple block-based visual retrieval engine. The results obtained at ImageCLEF 2009 show that our method is robust and promising. However, there is room for improvement on the visual retrieval.
