Classification of complex images based on semantic g

Image classification is a complex problem due to classes’ natural variability, possibly visual intersections and due to lacking of sufficient information in visual representation only. Classification methods bases on representing images as a set of visual words and then transforming them into appearance frequency histogram has proved it’s stability in last years. However, such approach is based on usage of a set of separated classifiers trained on some learning sets, and lacking any information about relations between them. Such information can be useful when image being analyzed contains some form of classes’ intersection or instances of more than one class. In that case whole-image classification can become unreliable and some king of post-processing is required. Current work explores the possibility to use information contained in semantic graphs for described problem. With a set of words in natural language as vertices in semantic graphs it is possible to gather connected learning images with usage of search systems like Google. Edges in semantic graph can be used a metric base for verification and correction algorithms which runs after a separated whole-image classification process. It is possible in some cases to combine semantically-close classes when analyzing a complex image and when separated whole-image classification becomes unreliable. Such method is given, with used formulas and results in table form.
