Abstract

This paper reports our multimedia information retrieval experiments carried out for the ImageCLEF Wikipedia task 2009. We extend our previous multimedia model defined as a vector of textual and visual information based on a bag of words approach [6]. We extract additional textual information from the original Wikipedia articles and we compute several image descriptors (local colour and texture features). We show that combining linearly textual and visual information significantly improves the results.
