5. Semantics Layer |
Parameters representing the semantics of the image or kansei
(subjectivity, feeling) models of users
|
evolutionary algorithms
|
4. Relation Layer |
Content elements representing relationship between regions

2. Pixel (Atom) Layer |
Class or label assigned through pixel-based classification /
segmentation techniques
|
Statistical pattern recognition
