A comparative study of evidence combination strategies

The paper reports on experimental results obtained from a performance comparison of feature combinations strategies in content based image retrieval. The use of support vector machines is compared to CombMIN, CombMAX, CombSUM and BordaFuse combination strategies, all of which are evaluated on a carefully compiled set of Corel images and the TRECVID 2003 search task collection.
