Exploiting Image Content Features for Image Index Term Assignment - 2001 Goldspiel Grant (project withdrawn)
The 2001 Steven I. Goldspiel Memorial Research Grant was awarded to the late Mark Rorvig for his project "Exploiting Image Content Features for Image Index Term Assignment." Due to Mr. Rorvig's tragic and untimely death before any siginificant work on his project had been carried out, the grant has been withdrawn for 2001.
The primary objective of Rorvig's project was to determine the degree to which content based feature extraction may support index term assignment. More specifically, to discover the degree to which the similarity of image content measures implies the inheritability of terms; to determine if there is a threshold of similarity beyond which image content similarity has little or no meaning for term assignment; to propose specific uses to the technique; and to implement the techniques on a trial basis in a special library indexing environment to understand conditions of their acceptability to working staff.
