Image Representation, Annotation and Retrieval with Predictive Clustering Trees

Abstract

In this paper, we summarize our work on using the predictive clustering framework for image analysis. More specifically, we have used predictive clustering trees to generate image representations, that can then be used to perform image retrieval and/or image annotation. We have evaluated the proposed method for performing image retrieval on general purpose images [6], and annotation of general purpose images [5], medical images [3] and diatom images [4].
