MRIM-LIG at ImageCLEF 2009: Photo Retrieval and Photo Annotation Tasks

This paper describes the different experiments that have been conducted by the MRIM group at the LIG in Grenoble for the ImageCLEF 2009 campaign. The group participated in the following tasks: Image Retrieval and Image Annotation. For the Image Retrieval task, we submitted runs with both text and image features, and a diversification process was applied. For the Image Annotation task, we used several features and classifiers in a way to generate keyword descriptions. For these two tasks, the results obtained are above the average of the participants.
