SEMANTIC AND ABSTRACTION CONTENT OF ART IMAGES

In this paper the semantic and abstraction content of art images is studied. Different techniques for search in art image repositories are analyzed and new ones are proposed. The content-based retrieval process integrates the search on different components, linked in XML structures. Some experiments over 200 paintings of six Israel contemporary artists are done and analyzed

An Analysis of Colour Semantics in Art Images

This article presents the principal results of the Ph.D. thesis A Novel Method for Content-Based Image Retrieval in Art Image Collections Utilizing Colour Semantics by Krassimira Ivanova (Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, BAS), successfully defended at Hasselt Uni-versity in Belgium, Faculty of Science, on 15 November 2011.The article briefly presents the results achieved by the PhD project R-1875 “Search in Art Image Collections Based on Colour Semantics”, Hasselt University, which finished successfully. The main goals of this work were to provide a detailed analysis of the colour theories, especially on existing interconnections in successful colour combinations, as well as to formalize them in order to implement automated extraction from digitized artworks
