Abstract

Since the availability of large digital image collections the need for a proper management of them raises. New technologies as annotations or tagging support the user by doing this task. However, this task is time-consuming and, therefore, automatic annotation systems are requested. Working outside of controlled laboratory environments this request is challenging. In this paper we propose a system automatically adapted to the user’s needs, providing useful annotations. We utilize Wikipedia to learn instances and abstract classes. With an evaluation in a complex use-case and dataset we show the possibility of such an attempt and achieve practical recognition rates of 26% on specific instance and 64% on abstract class level.
