In this thesis, we propose a new Stacked Generalization method, called Fuzzy Stacked Generalized Ranking Optimizer, to optimize the ranking performances of visual concept detection systems. In the proposed method, fuzzy k-NN classifiers are employed in the base-layer. Then, a classifier selection algorithm is employed to select the classifiers which will be combined in meta-layer. Finally, the results of the selected classifiers are combined and classified by a fuzzy k-NN meta classifier. In the experiments, the proposed method performs better than the state of the art ensemble learning methods.

SUPER PIXEL EXTRACTION VIA CONVEXITY INDUCED BOUNDARY ADAPTATION Tasli, H. Emrah; Cigla, Cevahir; Gevers, Theo; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-07-19) This study presents an efficient super-pixel extraction algorithm with major contributions to the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy and computational complexity. Segmentation accuracy is improved through convexity constrained geodesic distance utilization; while computational efficiency is achieved by replacing complete region processing with boundary adaptation idea. Starting from the uniformly distributed rectangular equal-sized super-pixels, region boundaries are adapted to intensity edges iterativel...
New change detection method using double segmentation and its application on remotely sensed images Gedik, Ekin; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) Change detection research, a branch of statistical data analysis, focuses on detecting changed samples between di erent observations of the same dataset. The proposed study presents a novel change detection procedure and its application as a complete framework which is designed to work on remotely sensed images. The scope of the study is defined as detecting man-made change objects between satellite images of the same region, acquired at di erent times. Proposed framework has three main steps as preprocessi...
A Customized force-directed layout algorithm for biological graphs whose vertices have enzyme commission attributes Danacı, Hasan Fehmi; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Force directed layout algorithm is popularly used to draw biological graphs. However, it employs only graph structure. When we would like to embed domain-specific knowledge, such as biological or chemical attributes related to the vertices, force directed layout algorithm should be modified. It is then important to draw more readable layouts for biologists without the dispose of aesthetically pleasing way that comes from force-directed algorithm’s nature. This thesis aims to describe a modified and improved...
Performance improvement of a 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm for an object using a single camera image Özkılıç, Sibel; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Performance improvement of a 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm using a passive secondary target has been focused in this study. In earlier studies, a theoretical development of the 3-D configuration reconstruction algorithm was achieved and it was implemented by a computer program on a system consisting of an optical bench and a digital imaging system. The passive secondary target used was a circle with two internal spots. In order to use this reconstruction algorithm in autonomous systems, an auto...
A genetic algorithmfor structural optimization Taşkınoğlu, Evren Eyüp; Oral, Süha; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) In this study, a design procedure incorporating a genetic algorithm (GA) is developed for optimization of structures. The objective function considered is the total weight of the structure. The objective function is minimized subjected to displacement and strength requirements. In order to evaluate the design constraints, finite element analysis are performed either by using conventional finite element solvers (i.e. MSC/NASTRAN®) or by using in-house codes. The application of the algorithm is shown by a num...
