Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for extracting one or more images from a storage medium. A search model is selected based on the availability of a semantically related aesthetic model. A search model includes a generic aesthetic model if the semantically related aesthetic model for query is not available. A semantic score and an aesthetic score are computed based on the selected search model. The images are further ranked based on the semantic and aesthetic score.
Claims29
A method for extracting one or more images from a storage medium, the method comprising:
- checking an availability of a semantically related aesthetic model based on a query;
- selecting at least one of a first search model or a second search model based on the availability of the semantically related aesthetic model, wherein the second search model comprises a generic aesthetic model;
- computing a semantic score and an aesthetic score for each of one or more images based on the selected search model;
- and
- ranking the one or more images based on the semantic score and the aesthetic score.
A method for extracting one or more images from a storage medium, the method comprising:
- selecting a semantic model based on a query;
- checking for an availability of a semantically related aesthetic model based on the query;
- selecting one of the semantically related aesthetic model or a generic aesthetic model based on the availability of the semantically related aesthetic model;
- computing a semantic score and an aesthetic score based on the semantic model and the selected aesthetic model;
- and
- ranking the one or more images based on the semantic score and the aesthetic score.
A system for extracting one or more images from a storage medium, the system comprising:
- a model selection module configured for:
- checking an availability of a semantically related aesthetic model based on a query;
- selecting at least one of a first search model or a second search model based on the availability of the semantically related aesthetic model, wherein the second search model comprises a generic aesthetic model;
- a scoring module configured to compute a semantic score and an aesthetic score based on the selected search model;
- and
- a ranking module configured to rank the one or more images based on the semantic score and the aesthetic score.
A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a computer-usable data carrier storing a computer readable program code embodied therein for extracting one or more images from a storage medium, the computer readable program code comprising:
- a program instruction means for checking an availability of a semantically related aesthetic model based on a query;
- a program instruction means for selecting at least one of a first search model or a second search model based on the availability of the semantically related aesthetic model, wherein the second search model comprises a generic aesthetic model;
- a program instruction means for computing a semantic score and an aesthetic score based on the selected search model;
- and
- a program instruction means for ranking the one or more images based on the semantic score and the aesthetic score.
