CAMEL: Concept Annotated iMagE Libraries

Abstract

The CAMEL (Concept Annotated iMagE Libraries) system is introduced to address poor retrieval quality and usability. CAMEL improves retrieval quality because it allows experts to build very accurate representations of visual concepts that can be used even by novice users. At the same time, CAMEL improves usability by supporting the familiar text-only interface currently used by most search engines on the web.
