Abstract:
Capturing of the digital images using multimedia
devices and the digital cameras is becoming increasingly
more popular. Annotating the digital pictures is
important to support the browsing, i.e. search pattern
and retrieval of the images. Image annotation techniques
depend entirely on visual properties of the image. The
textual annotations or the tags with multimedia content
are the most effective approaches to organize and to
support search over digital images and multimedia
databases. The image annotation preferred because as
the countless images exist in our lives it is not possible to
annotate them all by hand. And so annotation by
computer is a potential and promising solution to this
problem precisely. In this paper, color segmentation
approach for image annotation is proposed. The region
segmentation is performed by N-cut algorithm. RGB
color space and HSI color space are mainly used for
color classification and database creation. Several
experiments have been done to confirm the effectiveness
of the proposed method.
