MRIM-LIG at ImageCLEF 2009: Robotvision, Image Annotation and Retrieval Tasks

This paper describes mainly the experiments that have been conducted by the MRIM group at the LIG in Grenoble for the the ImageCLEF 2009 campaign, focusing on the work done for the Robotvision task. The proposal for this task is to study the behaviour of a generative approach inspired by the language model of information retrieval. To fit with the specificity of the Robotvision task, we added post-processing in a way to tackle with the fact that images do belong only to several classes (rooms) and that image are not independent from each others (i.e., the robot cannot in one second be in three different rooms). The results obtained still need improvement, but the use of such language model in the case of Robotvision is showed. Some results related to the Image Retrieval task and the Image annotation task are also presented.
