![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: The effectiveness of image features based on fractal image coding for image annotation The effectiveness of image features based on fractal image coding for image annotation](/preview/png/387310.png)
Image annotation is a process of assigning metadata to digital images in the form of captions or keywords, and has been regarded as image management and one of the most crucial processes of image retrieval. And many automatic methods have been proposed. However, these methods still have some problems respectively. Fractals are fragmented geometries and can be considered separate parts; each part is similar to the contracted overall shape. Fractal features provide geometric information of an image that is irrelevant to the shape and size of an object in the image; therefore, fractal features are more robust than color and texture features. Therefore, this study proposed a fractal-driven image annotation (FIA) schema that extracts fractal features through fractal image coding and integrates color and texture as new visual features to conduct image-based annotation. Experimental results indicate that the effect of thresholds on annotating accuracy is insignificant. This finding supports the application of FIA on complex practical environments, reduces the time for identifying the optimal thresholds, and improves the practicality of using FIA in real environments.
► We proposed a novel fractal features which enhance the visual features for the visual image annotation.
► Improving the annotating accuracy without identifying the optimal thresholds.
► Providing a relatively high accuracy for “People” label.
