Concept-based image indexing
open-in-new
<p>Concept-based image indexing, also variably named as "description-based" or "text-based" image indexing/retrieval, refers to retrieval from text-based indexing of images that may employ keywords, <a href="/facts/Subject_heading/fRqKUggI">subject headings</a>, captions, or natural language text (Chen & Rasmussen, 1999). It is opposed to <a href="/facts/Content-based_image_retrieval/AQpmsoGE">Content-based image retrieval</a>. Indexing is a technique used in CBIR. </p><p>Chu (2001) confirms that there exist two distinctive research groups employing the content-based and description-based approaches, respectively. However, research in the content-based domain is currently dominating in the field, while the other approach has less visibility. </p>
