Abstract

This paper proposes a solution to bridge the gap between semantic and visual information formulated as a structural pattern recognition problem. Instances of semantic classes expressed by Description Graphs are detected on a region-based representation of visual data expressed with a Binary Partition Tree. The detection process builds instances of Semantic Trees on the top of the Binary Partition Tree using an encyclopedia of models organised as a hierarchy. At the leaves of the Semantic Tree, classes are defined by perceptual models containing a list of low-level descriptors. The proposed solution is assessed in different environments to show its flexibility.
