  • Abstract
    Image auto-annotation methods perform the description previously unseen images with a set of words, based on previously shown examples. This is a relatively new paradigm in image processing research domain. Capillaroscopy is a branch of medicine focusing on analysis of vascular changes. Among others, it is a very helpful tool in diagnosis of many rheumatic diseases. The paper presents a preliminary research on usage of image auto-annotation methods for the computer-aided diagnosis from capillaroscopy images.
