ABSTRACT
|
| This paper presents an approach on high-level feature detection using a region thesaurus. MPEG-7 features are locally extracted from segmented regions and for a large set of images. A hierarchical clustering approach is applied and a relatively small number of region types is selected. This set of region types de¯nes the region thesaurus. Using this thesaurus, low-level features are mapped to high-level concepts as model vectors. This representation is then used to train support vector machine-based feature detectors. As a next step, latent semantic analysis is applied on the model vectors, to further improve the analysis performance. High-level concepts detected derive from the natural disaster domain.
