Evaluation of pointer click relevance feedback in PicSOM : deliverable D1.2 of FP7 project nº 216529 PinView

Abstract

This report presents the results of a series of experiments where knowledge of the most relevant part of images is given as additional information to a content-based image retrieval system. The most relevant parts have been identified by search-task-dependent pointer clicks on the images. As such they provide a rudimentary form of explicit enriched relevance feedback and to some extent mimic genuine implicit eye movement measurements which are essential ingredients of the PinView project.
