Abstract

Embodiments provide a multimodality-based image tagging apparatus and a method for the same. The image tagging apparatus includes: a score generating unit configured to generate, for an inquiry image, multiple groups of first scores about all tags in an tagging dictionary by using a training image and multiple modalities of an image; a late-fusion unit configured to fuse the obtained multiple groups of scores to obtain final scores about all the tags; and a tag selecting unit configured to select one or more tag(s) with relatively large tag scores as tag(s) of the inquiry image according to the final scores about all the tags. With the embodiments, multiple modalities may be effectively fused, and a more robust and accurate image tagging result may be obtained.
