In order to avoid the difficulty of classification of huge number of images, Tagged Image management system based on Lattice Structure (TaILaS) is proposed based on formal concept analysis. TaILaS constructs a concept lattice from a given cross table between objects and attributes, and then the Hasse diagram of this lattice is visualized, where the all attributes are given as tags information. TaILaS can assign each image with multiple categories based on lattice structure, therefore, it is easy for users to treat with huge number of images and avoid the difficulty of their classification. The proposed system is running on an ordinal computer and it is implemented in Processing, a JAVA based programming language. Through visualization experiment using the Corel Image Galley, we confirm that the proposed system is more effective than the existing file management system by tree structure.
