The invention provides a method for recognizing different artistic expressions of an
object based on a specific
data set. The method mainly comprises an ArtData
data set, an
annotation transfer way and artistic
image retrieval, and comprises the steps of firstly, measuring the degree about which knowledge of the object in a medium can be applied to other medium, then comparing the emotion and different features and using styles of medium classes to consider the style and aesthetics so as to improve the aesthetic prediction task on other artistic
data set, and finally, constructing a
search engine specific to the task in combination with an experiment of learning feature space, wherein the
search engine can be used for searching an image according to the content, emotion or medium similarity. The method breaks through the limitation of
image retrieval only on daily photography, and improves the generality of
image retrieval; and besides daily photography scenes, different artistic expressions can also be recognized and extracted, so that the
cognition degrees of computers on arts field and aesthetics are improved, and the view field of
machine vision is expanded to other fields.
