Heuristic method for automatic image annotation in HTML documents
Jorge Luis Betancourt González, Adisleydis Rodríguez Alvarez · 2015
An automatic heuristic method for embedded image annotation in HTML documents is exposed.This method exploits the tree structure present in HTML documents trying to identify nodes that contain relevant information about the embedded image, and then using the text in these nearest nodes to expand the information collected about the image, increasing the recall of a Web Search Engine.The proposed heuristic was evaluated using the Agreement Index: the text contained in the identified nodes and the corresponding image was assessed and assigned a category of how well the text was related (i.e.described) with the image.In our test cases the calculated Agreement Index was over 85%, validating the proposed method.
