Exploring digital image collections through synergy of expert and machine

Computer vision and machine learning techniques have reached a level that provides the means to understand digital images at basic levels and can do so at image collection scales that are far beyond human capabilities. Human expert knowledge can reveal patterns of interest for small scale collections in much more depth. In this presentation, we consider how the complementary skills of experts and machine can come together to research image collections in innovative ways by leveraging automatic techniques and information visualization.
