The authors present a sparsity-based algorithm, basic thresholding classifier (BTC), for classification applications which is capable of identifying test samples extremely rapidly and performing high classification accuracy. They introduce a sufficient identification condition (SIC) under which BTC can identify any test sample in the range space of a given dictionary. By using SIC, they develop a procedure which provides a guidance for the selection of threshold parameter. By exploiting rapid classification capability, they propose a fusion scheme in which individual BTC classifiers are combined to produce better classification results especially when very small number of features is used. Finally, they propose an efficient validation technique to reject invalid test samples. Numerical results in face identification domain show that BTC is a tempting alternative to sparsity-based classification algorithms such as greedy orthogonal matching pursuit and l(1)-minimisation.

Basic thresholding classification Toksöz, Mehmet Altan; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) In this thesis, we propose a light-weight sparsity-based algorithm, basic thresholding classifier (BTC), for classification applications (such as face identification, hyperspectral image classification, etc.) which is capable of identifying test samples extremely rapidly and performing high classification accuracy. Originally BTC is a linear classifier which works based on the assumption that the samples of the classes of a given dataset are linearly separable. However, in practice those samples may not be ...
Low-level multiscale image segmentation and a benchmark for its evaluation Akbaş, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm to detect low-level structure present in images. The algorithm is designed to partition a given image into regions, corresponding to image structures, regardless of their shapes, sizes, and levels of interior homogeneity. We model a region as a connected set of pixels that is surrounded by ramp edge discontinuities where the magnitude of these discontinuities is large compared to the variation inside the region. Each region is associated with a scale that d...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
Data-driven image captioning via salient region discovery Kilickaya, Mert; Akkuş, Burak Kerim; Çakıcı, Ruket; Erdem, Aykut; Erdem, Erkut; İKİZLER CİNBİŞ, NAZLI (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2017-09-01) n the past few years, automatically generating descriptions for images has attracted a lot of attention in computer vision and natural language processing research. Among the existing approaches, data-driven methods have been proven to be highly effective. These methods compare the given image against a large set of training images to determine a set of relevant images, then generate a description using the associated captions. In this study, the authors propose to integrate an object-based semantic image r...
Nested local symmetry set Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2000-08-01) A local-symmetry-based representation for shapes in arbitrary dimensions and a method for its computation are presented. The method depends on analyzing the Hessian of a specific boundaryness function, v, which is computed as the minimizer of an energy functional. The method is basically a generalized ridge finding scheme in which the ridges are defined in terms of the orbit of the gradient vector del v under the action of the Hessian of v. Once the ridges are determined, the local extrema of the magnitude ...
