As the size of image databases increases in time, the need for content based image indexing and retrieval become important. Image classification is a key to content based image indexing. In this thesis supervised learning with feed forward back propagation artificial neural networks is used for image classification. Low level features derived from the images are used to classify the images to interpret the high level features that yield semantics. Features are derived using detail histogram correlations obtained by Wavelet Transform, directional edge information obtained by Fourier Transform and color histogram correlations. An image database consisting of 357 color images of various sizes is used for training and testing the structure. The database is indexed into seven classes that represent scenery contents which are not mutually exclusive. The ground truth data is formed in a supervised fashion to be used in training the neural network and testing the performance. The performance of the structure is tested using leave one out method and comparing the simulation outputs with the ground truth data. Success, mean square error and the class recall rates are used as the performance measures. The performances of the derived features are compared with the color and texture descriptors of MPEG-7 using the structure designed. The results show that the performance of the method is comparable and better. This method of classification for content based image indexing is a reliable and valid method for content based image indexing and retrieval, especially in scenery image indexing.

Image compression method based on learned lifting-based dwt and learned zerotree-like entropy model Şahin, Uğur Berk; Kamışlı, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8) The success of deep learning in computer vision has sparked great interest in investigating deep learning-based algorithms also in many image processing applications, including image compression. The most popular end-to-end learned image compression approaches are based on auto-encoder architectures, where the image is mapped via convolutional neural networks (CNNs) into a transform (latent) representation that is quantized and processed again with CNNs to obtain the reconstructed image. The quantized laten...
Automatic video text localization and recognition Saracoglu, Ahmet; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2006-01-01) For the indexing and management of large scale video databases an important tool would be the text in the digital media. In this work, the localization performances of the overlay texts using different feature extraction methods with different classifiers are analyzed. Besides that in order to improve the text recognition rate by using multiple hipothesis obtained from multilevel segmentation and using statistical language model are investigated.
Object Orientation Detection And Character-Recognition Using Optimal Feedforward Network And Kohonen Feature Map Baykal, Nazife (1992) A neural network model, namely, Kohonen's Feature Map, together with the optimal feedforward network is used for variable font machine printed character recognition with tolerance to rotation, shift in position, and size errors. The determination of object orientation is found using the many rotated versions of individual symbols. Orientations are detected from printed text, but no knowledge of the context is used. The optimal Bayesian detector is derived, and it is shown that the optimal detector has the f...
Multimodal concept detection in broadcast media: KavTan SOYSAL, Medeni; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; TEKİN, Mashar; ESEN, Ersin; SARACOĞLU, Ahmet; Acar, Banu Oskay; Ozan, Ezgi Can; Ates, Tugrul K.; SEVİMLİ, Hakan; SEVİNÇ, Muge; ATIL, Ilkay; Ozkan, Savas; Arabaci, Mehmet Ali; TANKIZ, Seda; KARADENİZ, Talha; ÖNÜR, Duygu; SELÇUK, Sezin; Alatan, A. Aydin; Çiloğlu, Tolga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-10-01) Concept detection stands as an important problem for efficient indexing and retrieval in large video archives. In this work, the KavTan System, which performs high-level semantic classification in one of the largest TV archives of Turkey, is presented. In this system, concept detection is performed using generalized visual and audio concept detection modules that are supported by video text detection, audio keyword spotting and specialized audio-visual semantic detection components. The performance of the p...
Metadata extraction from text in soccer domain Göktürk, Özkan; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Video databases and content based retrieval in these databases have become popular with the improvements in technology. Metadata extraction techniques are used for providing data to video content. One popular metadata extraction technique for mul- timedia is information extraction from text. For some domains, it is possible to nd accompanying text with the video, such as soccer domain, movie domain and news domain. In this thesis, we present an approach of metadata extraction from match reports for soccer d...
