AISO: Annotation of Image Segments using Ontologies

AISO is an interactive image segmentation and ontology annotation tool. This desktop application is designed to give curators of biological specimens the ability to segment an image and annotate those segments with ontology terms. AISO directly integrates Plant Ontology terms via a web service, allowing users to select and apply appropriate plant terms to segmented images. Current and future work is focused on building a database of segmented, annotated images and introducing a machine-learning component to explore automated annotation.
