In this thesis, a Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system to query the objects in an image database is proposed. Images are represented as collections of regions after being segmented with Normalized Cuts algorithm. MPEG-7 content descriptors are used to encode regions in a 239-dimensional feature space. User of the proposed CBIR system decides which objects to query and labels exemplar regions to train the system using a graphical interface. Fuzzy ARTMAP algorithm is used to learn the mapping between feature vectors and binary coded class identification numbers. Preliminary recognition experiments prove the power of fuzzy ARTMAP as a region classifier. After training, features of all regions in the database are extracted and classified. Simple index files enabling fast access to all regions from a given class are prepared to be used in the querying phase. To retrieve images containing a particular object, user opens an image and selects a query region together with a label in the graphical interface of our system. Then the system ranks all regions in the indexed set of the query class with respect to their L2 (Euclidean) distance to the query region and displays resulting images. During retrieval experiments, comparable class precisions with respect to exhaustive searching of the database are maintained which demonstrates e ectiveness of the classifier in narrowing down the search space.

An image retrieval system based on region classification Ozcanli, OC; Yarman-Vural, F (2004-01-01) In this study, a content based image retrieval (CBIR) system to query the objects in an image database is proposed. Images are represented as collections of regions after being segmented with Normalized Cuts algorithm. MPEG-7 content descriptors are used to encode regions in a 239-dimensional feature space.

A hierarchical object localization and image retrieval framework Uysal, Mutlu; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) This thesis proposes an object localization and image retrieval framework, which trains a discriminative feature set for each object class. For this purpose, a hierarchical learning architecture, together with a Neighborhood Tree is introduced for object labeling. Initially, a large variety of features are extracted from the regions of the pre-segmented images. These features are, then, fed to the training module, which selects the "best set of representative features", suppressing relatively less important...
Semantic service discovery with heuristic relevance calculation Özyönüm, Müge; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a semantically aided web service and restful service search mechanism is presented that makes use of an ontology. The mechanism relates method names, input and output parameters for ontology guided matches and offers results with varying relevance corresponding to the matching degree. The mechanism is demonstrated using an experimental domain that is tourism and travel. An ontology is created to support a set of web services that exist in this domain.
A Static analysis approach for service oriented software engineering (SOSE) designs Çermikli, Can; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a static analysis approach is introduced in order to develop correct business processes according to the Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) specification. The modeling of the business processes are conducted with Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) which is a popular orchestrator of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) based system through the description of workflow. This approach is also integrated to the Service Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) design tec...
Design and implementation of a secure and searchable audit logging system İncebacak, Davut; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2007) Logs are append-only time-stamped records to represent events in computers or network devices. Today, in many real-world networking applications, logging is a central service however it is a big challenge to satisfy the conflicting requirements when the security of log records is of concern. On one hand, being kept on mostly untrusted hosts, the logs should be preserved against unauthorized modifications and privacy breaches. On the other, serving as the primary evidence for digital crimes, logs are often n...
