ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically annotates an image. During operation, the system receives the image. Next, the system extracts image features from the image. The system then identifies other images which have similar image features. The system next obtains text associated with the other images, and identifies intersecting keywords in the obtained text. Finally, the system annotates the image with the intersecting keywords.
