ICONCLASS is the de facto global standard for the subject classification
of cultural heritage content. It consists of alphanumeric “notations” which
document the subjects in images in a language independent way. These
notations have been applied to a large corpus of images.
In your thesis, an analysis will be done on the possibilities of linking the
notations to specific regions of images. Techniques from computervision
like object detection will be explored, and the option of doing human
assisted tagging using serious gaming techniques considered.
You will gain experience in developing software for describing and tagging
large scale image collections.
