In this work, we focus on the problem of infrared (IR) object classification by dividing the object appearance space hierarchically with a binary decision tree structure. Specially designed features of the object appearances make the binary decisions at each node of the tree. These features are extracted using a fully connected deep neural network. At each node of the tree, we train individual deep CNNs such that each node specializes in its corresponding subspace. The proposed method is tested in our generated dataset, which consists of IR targets collected from different video records obtained from different IR sensors (both midwave and longwave) and taken from real world field. The generated dataset consists of four different class labels as shiplboat, tank, plane and helicopter containing a total of 16K samples. Using the proposed tree-based classifier, we observe a favourable performance increase in our dataset against a single deep CNN classifier.

OBJECT CLASSIFICATION IN INFRARED IMAGES USING DEEP REPRESENTATIONS Gündoğdu, Erhan; Koç, AYKUT; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2016-09-29) In this study, we address the problem of infrared (IR) object classification that divides the object appearance space hierarchically with a binary decision tree structure. Binary decisions are made by using the special features of the object appearances. These features are extracted using a fully connected deep neural network learnt by training samples. At each node of the tree, we train individual deep CNNs such that each node specializes in its corresponding subspace. The proposed classification algorithm...
Weakly supervised instance attention for multisource fine-grained object recognition with an application to tree species classification Aygunes, Bulut; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Aksoy, Selim (2021-06-01) Multisource image analysis that leverages complementary spectral, spatial, and structural information benefits fine-grained object recognition that aims to classify an object into one of many similar subcategories. However, for multisource tasks that involve relatively small objects, even the smallest registration errors can introduce high uncertainty in the classification process. We approach this problem from a weakly supervised learning perspective in which the input images correspond to larger neighborh...
Automatic target recognition and detection in infrared imagery under cluttered background GÜNDOĞDU, ERHAN; KOÇ, AYKUT; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2017-09-14) Visual object classification has long been studied in visible spectrum by utilizing conventional cameras. Since the labeled images has recently increased in number, it is possible to train deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with significant amount of parameters. As the infrared (IR) sensor technology has been improved during the last two decades, labeled images extracted from IR sensors have been started to be used for object detection and recognition tasks. We address the problem of infrared object ...
Improvements on one-stage object detection by visual reasoning Aksoy, Tolga; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-09) Current state-of-the-art one-stage object detectors are limited by treating each image region separately without considering possible relations of the objects. This causes dependency solely on high-quality convolutional feature representations for detecting objects successfully. However, this may not be possible sometimes due to some challenging conditions. In this thesis, a new architecture is proposed for one-stage object detection that reasons the relations of the image regions by using self-attention. T...
Multisource region attention network for fine-grained object recognition in remote sensing imagery Sümbül, Gencer; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Aksoy, Selim (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-07) Fine-grained object recognition concerns the identification of the type of an object among a large number of closely related subcategories. Multisource data analysis that aims to leverage the complementary spectral, spatial, and structural information embedded in different sources is a promising direction toward solving the fine-grained recognition problem that involves low between-class variance, small training set sizes for rare classes, and class imbalance. However, the common assumption of coregistered ...
