The presented method first computes multi-layered active contours. The first-layer active contour corresponds to the main object or foreground, while the next-layers active contours delineate the object’s subparts. Then, visual features are extracted within the regions segmented by these active contours and are mapped into semantic notions. Next, decision trees are trained based on these attributes, and the image is semantically annotated using the resulting decision rules. Experiments carried out on several standards datasets have demonstrated the reliability and the computational effectiveness of our AIA system.
