I want to perform Automatic Image Annotation on images with the help of a dataset which has images along with metadata tags. I want to know how i can proceed with Image-feature extraction for this purpose. Any library available for this purpose would help me. The idea is that after some feature extraction process gives me the features, i would like to associate the features with tags.

One Answer:

The most widely used is opencv, which is a c++ library with python bindings. The python bindings are not that well-documented though. You will not find a library that beats opencv in speed and variety of algorithms, though.

There are two recent newer libraries for python, mahotas and scikit-image, which also implement a number of algorithms. They are not as well-tested as opencv, but are more user-friendly and have more documentation.

i've tried the SIFT algorithm but wasn't very happy with the features. Could you suggest me of some more for my purpose?
