“For many years, librarians have been consciously depicted in the mass media as female in gender, mousy in appearance, dowdy in dress (orthopedic shoes), know-it-all in attitude, overly serious, and strict disciplinarians. Although this negative stereotype may be in part a manifestation of anti-intellectualism in American society, many professional librarians consider it unfair and would like to see it change. Although the topic is often treated humorously in the library literature (see the chapter on "Image" in Will Manley's The Manley Art of Librarianship, McFarland, 1993), the effect of professional image on recruitment and morale has yet to be measured systematically.
Interestingly, research conducted by Mary Jane Scherdin in 1992 under the aegis of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) reveals that the personality profiles of librarians as a group differ significantly from data on the general population. Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to measure personal preferences, Scherdin found that librarians scored substantially higher on introversion, intuitiveness, and thinking than the population at large and that individuals with extroverted, sensing, feeling, and perceiving preferences are rare in the library profession. Assuming that 1) introverts are likely to be perceived by extroverts as timid or reserved, 2) those who prefer emotion over reason may find thinkers too serious, and 3) individuals who are flexible and spontaneous tend to regard people who are systematic and well organized as rigid or controlling, Scherdin's findings suggest that the popular stereotype of librarians may have some basis in reality (see "Shattering Our Stereotype: Librarians' New Image" in the July 1995 issue of Library Journal).
Also refers to a visual impression of something real or imagined».

Image Analysis
“Process of generating a set of descriptors or features on which a decision about objects in an image is based”.
“This is an extraction of meaningful information from images; mainly from digital images by means of digital image processing techniques. Image analysis tasks can be as simple as reading bar coded tags or as sophisticated as identifying a person from their face”.

Cela requiert la mise en oeuvre et l'enchaînement d'un certain nombre de processus, comme l'identification des différents objets ou composants de l'image encore appelé segmentation, le calcul de leurs relations topologiques ou géométriques, l'estimation de mesures globales ou locales, et le cas échéant la caractérisation de ces objets."
