Abstract
Image captioning, an interdisciplinary research field of computer vision and natural language processing, has attracted extensive attention. Image captioning aims to produce reasonable and accurate natural language sentences to describe images. It requires the captioning model to recognize objects and describe their relationships accurately. Intuitively, it is difficult for a machine to have the general image understanding ability like human beings. However, deep learning provides the basis for intelligent exploration. In this review, we will focus on recent advanced deep methods for image captioning. We classify existing methods into different categories and discuss these categories respectively; meanwhile, we discuss the related datasets and evaluation metrics. We also prospect the future research directions.
