Popis: The use of ontological knowledge to improve classification results is a promising line of research. The availability of a probabilistic ontology raises the possibility of combining the probabilities coming from the ontology with the ones produced by a multi-class classifier that detects particular objects in an image. This combination not only provides the relations existing between the different segments, but can also improve the classification accuracy. In fact, it is known that the contextual information can often give information that suggests the correct class. This paper proposes a possible model that implements this integration, and the experimental assessment shows the effectiveness of the integration, especially when the classifier&rsquo
s accuracy is relatively low. To assess the performance of the proposed model, we designed and implemented a simulated classifier that allows a priori decisions of its performance with sufficient precision.
