Automatic Image Tagging

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the on-the-horizon dept.

bignickel writes "Researchers at Penn State have applied for a patent on software that automatically recognizes objects in photos and tags them accordingly. The 'Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Pictures Real-Time' software (catchy name) trained a database using tens of thousands of images, and new images have 15 tags suggested based on comparisons with objects or concepts in the database. Not sure how you identify a 'concept,' and they're only talking about having one correct tag in the top 15, but still cool."

    I think it's easy to identify a 'concept':

    • if the photo has a lot of people -> probably should be tagged as crowd
    • if the photo has a pair of boobs and dick -> tag it as sex etc.
    • if the photo has a lot of people and boobs -> tag it as a group-fuck etc.. =)
