Deep learning has proven to be an effective method for classifying images. Over the past years various network topologies have been trained using millions of images only to illustrate that capabilities of deep learning is to be expected only to grow in time. Some of the trained deep networks are made available to public and more such networks are expected to surface in time. When such deep networks are investigated, it is observed that, they are not only trained with high number of images (literally millions), but these images are coming from diverse categories where the images contain many dissimilar distinctive features. Therefore, our intuitions suggest that, if a deep network is trained over a rich variety of categories, the trained network may have the capability to detect sets of features that belong to images that are coming from unknown categories. This paper presents the initial findings of our ongoing research. The results strongly suggest that a trained deep network can potentially be used as a generic feature extractor to cluster images that the network cannot inherently identify.

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...
Error prediction in electromagnetic simulations using machine learning
KARAOSMANOGLU, BARISCAN; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-07-01)
© 2019 IEEE.We present a novel approach of using deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to predict electromagnetic scattering errors in iterative solutions of electrically large three-dimensional objects. Deep CNN models are constructed and trained by using surface current images to predict far-zone scattering errors. Numerical experiments demonstrate successful predictions with more than 95% accuracy. The constructed models can be useful to quickly assess the accuracy of candidate solutions of current di...
Position estimation for timing belt drives of precision machinery using structured neural networks
KILIÇ, Ergin; DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2012-05-01)
This paper focuses on a viable position estimation scheme for timing-belt drives using artificial neural networks. In this study, the position of a carriage (load) is calculated via a structured neural network topology accepting input from a position sensor on the actuator side of the timing belt. The paper presents a detailed discussion on the source of transmission errors. The characteristics of the error in different operation regimes are exploited to construct different network topologies. That is, a re...
Image Annotation With Semi-Supervised Clustering
Sayar, Ahmet; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2009-09-16)
Methods developed for image annotation usually make use of region clustering algorithms. Visual codebooks are generated from the region clusters of low level features. These codebooks are then, matched with the words of the text document related to the image, in various ways. In this paper, we supervise the clustering process by using three types of side information. The first one is the topic probability information obtained from the text document associated with the image. The second is the orientation an...
QUALITY EVALUATION OF STEREOSCOPIC VIDEOS USING DEPTH MAP SEGMENTATION
Sarikan, Selim S.; Olgun, Ramazan F.; Akar, Gözde (2011-09-09)
This paper presents a new quality evaluation model for stereoscopic videos using depth map segmentation. This study includes both objective and subjective evaluation. The goal of this study is to understand the effect of different depth levels on the overall 3D quality. Test sequences with different coding schemes are used. The results show that overall quality has a strong correlation with the quality of the background, where disparity is smaller relative to the foreground. The results also showed that con...
