[MM]Tools categorization

Dear all

 

After a more inside exploration on the tools for image annotation, here are
some 

basic characteristics that could be used for the categorization of the
tools.

 

1) Type of content: Jpeg Images,Video etc

2) Type of metadata: Descriptive, administrative, structural etc

3) Format of metadata: OWL, RDF

4) Annotation Level: Extraction of visual characteristics and association

    with domain ontology concepts-operation using ontologies.

5) Operation mode: plug-in, stand-alone

6) Open source: YES, NO

 

Concerning the benchmarking, it could be based on the creation of some
examples 

taken from the use cases which will be annotated with the aid of all the
tools. In my 

opinion, it is better to avoid criticism on the tools. It is rather better
to provide the 

users with the output of the tools and leave them to decide which is better
for their 

application.

 

Best Regards,

Nikolaos Simou.
