MOTIVATION FOR CHOOSING THE PROJECT:

The purpose of our project is to transform text in images trying that both express the same mining.

More than 50% of used human brain is devoted to vision.

• Adding illustrations to text can be of great help to memorize its contents• But searching images that represent the text is a time consuming task• Drawing entirely new images from scratch takes even longer.

HOW THE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVE?

In order to solve this problem we are going to use different techniques like text mining, natural language processing and semantic web:

We obtained a big Image database.

We have image with tags with the things that are inside of them.

We selected the most representative picture in our database that describes a specific object.

HOW THE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVE?

We used some text mining techniques in order to obtain entities, attributes, etc.

We used the PoS of the phrase that we want to convert to image.

We associated the text with the images.

DATABASES

The following databases of images was used for our project:

LabelMe images are annotated with the shapes of the objects contained in the scene. labeling was done by unpaid users More than 70,000 shapes where obtained!

Animal Diversity Web •we fetched nearly 10000 pages.•1545 were information about animals.•3500 picture pages of animals (and for each picture page we extracted ~5 pics links) and 5000 were simply the pages about the hierarchy, needed to arrive to the information at the leaves•we fetched mammals,reptiles ,birds, bony fishes, insects, echinoderms, arthropods
