Photostuff Digital Image Annotation Tool
INTRODUCTION • Incorporation of digital media types • Unstructured digital data • Portal for managing annotations and tracking provenance
Need • Available tools focus on low-level features of images to ontological concepts • Mapping of image annotation required with the domain ontology • Unaddressed image metadata management and interaction • Example - NASA
Solution • Domain independent tool for managing annotations in a customizable, ontology backed manner
Photostuff • Platform independent (Java based) • Allows users to annotate image and its regions with respect to ontologies specified in RDF/OWL • Compatible with multiple ontologies, spanning many domains
Interaction with Web Portal • Instances • RDF/XML • Local images
Image Metadata Management • Publishing markup to Semantic Web • Web portal functionality extends with MINDSWAP research group and NASA • Portal can manage many ontologies • When an instance is selected user is presented with all images in which the instance is depicted • Metadata published via image and additional sources can be integrated
Provenance Management • Mindswap maintains and stores annotations
Provenance Management(contd.) • Browsing data
Future Work • Automating annotation process • Region segmentation techniques • Embedding HTML forms on class definitions • Including additional digital media types
Conclusion • Domain independent framework for annotating and managing digital image • Open source implementation of the framework • Overview of proof -of-concept designed as an experiment in collaboration with NASA
