ImageCLEF 2013

Overview of ImageCLEF 2013

ImageCLEF 2013 is part of CLEF 2013 and will organize three main tasks, plus one task that is associated with the AMIA 2013 meeting:

• Photo Annotation and Retrieval
• Plant identification
• Robot Vision
• AMIA: Medical task

These tasks will benchmark the annotation and retrieval of diverse images such as general photographic, as well as domain-specific tasks such as plant identification and robot vision. The aim is to support and promote research that addresses key challenges in the field including:

• visual image annotation with concepts at various levels of abstraction that relies not only on manual, and thus reliable, training data, but also on automatically acquired, and thus noisy, labelled samples,
• scientific multimedia data management through the particular case of botanical data identification, and
• the shift in the area of robot vision from visual place recognition to multimodal place recognition.
