Revision of ImageCLEF 2008: Visual Concept Detection Task from Fri, 02/01/2008 - 16:39

In 2008, ImageCLEF will offer a Visual Concept Detection Task continuing the Object Annotation Task of ImageCLEF 2006 and the Object Retrieval Task of ImageCLEF 2007. In contrast to its predecessors, the Visual Concept Detection Task of ImageCLEF 2008 will be strongly interacting with the ImageCLEF 2008 Photographic Retrieval Task.

Outline

The Visual Concept Detection Task has the objective to identify visual concepts that would help in solving the photographic retrieval task in ImageCLEF 2008. Therefore, we will publish a training database of approximately 2500 images with annotated visual concepts. Then, the objective for participating groups is to identify these visual concepts in the 20,000 images that are used for the retrieval task.

At a later stage, the usefullness of the detected topics for the retrieval procedure will be evaluated.

Schedule

The schedule is not yet defined.
