N2 - This paper presents a new spatial-HMM(SHMM)for automatically classifying and annotating natural images. Our model is a 2D generalization of the traditional HMM in the sense that both vertical and horizontal transitions between hidden states are taken into consideration. The three basic problems with HMM-liked model are also solved in our model. Given a sequence of visual features, our model automatically derives annotations from keywords associated with the most appropriate concept class, and with no need of a pre-defined length threshold. Our experiments showed that our model outperformed the previous 2D MHMM in recognition accuracy and also achieved a high annotation accuracy. © 2006 IEEE.
