Human-computer interaction for large-scale image retrieval

As digital cameras and online photo sharing services become more popular, digital images are growing exponentially on the Internet. Thus supporting more effective retrieval from large-scale image collections has become a challenging issue for CBIR community. In this paper, we have developed a human-centered computing framework for assisting users to access large-scale online image collections: (a) filtering out junk images from Google Images; and (b) exploring large-scale Flickr images.
