Current solutions are still far from reaching the ultimate goal, namely to enable users to retrieve the desired video clip among massive amounts of visual data in a semantically meaningful manner. With this study we propose a video database model that provides nearly automatic object, event and concept extraction. It provides a reasonable approach to bridging the gap between low-level representative features and high-level semantic contents from a human point of view. By using training sets and expert opinions, low-level feature values for objects and relations between objects are determined. At the top level we have an ontology of objects, events and concepts. Objects and/or events use all these information to generate events and concepts. The system has a reliable video data model, which gives the user the ability to make ontology- supported fuzzy querying. Queries containing objects, events, spatio-temporal clauses, concepts and low-level features can be handled.

Exploiting Local Indexing and Deep Feature Confidence Scores for Fast Image-to-Video Search
Ozkan, Savas; Akar, Gözde (2021-01-01)
The cost-effective visual representation and fast query-by-example search are two challenging goals that should be maintained for web-scale visual retrieval tasks on moderate hardware. This paper introduces a fast and robust method that ensures both of these goals by obtaining state-of-the-art performance for an image-to-video search scenario. Hence, we present critical enhancements to well-known indexing and visual representation techniques by promoting faster, better and moderate retrieval performance. We...
Optimal video adaptation for resource constrained mobile devices based on utility theory
Önür, Özgür Deniz; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
This thesis proposes a novel system to determine the best representation of a video in the sense that, a user watching the video reaches the highest level of satisfaction possible, given the resource capabilities of the viewing device. Utility theory is used to obtain a utility function representing the user satisfaction as a function of video coding parameters, and the viewing device capabilities. The utility function is formulated as the weighted sum of three individual components. These components are ch...
Holistic Web Application Security Visualization for Multi-Project and Multi-Phase Dynamic Application Security Test Results
Sonmez, Ferda Ozdemir; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2021-01-01)
As the number of web applications and the corresponding number and sophistication of the threats increases, creating new tools that are efficient and accessible becomes essential. Although there is much research concentrating on network security visualizations, there are only a few studies considering the web application vulnerabilities' possible visualization options. Consequently, to fill this gap, this research centers around a novel perception configuration to improve web application vulnerability monit...
Image classification for content based indexing
Taner, Serdar; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
As the size of image databases increases in time, the need for content based image indexing and retrieval become important. Image classification is a key to content based image indexing. In this thesis supervised learning with feed forward back propagation artificial neural networks is used for image classification. Low level features derived from the images are used to classify the images to interpret the high level features that yield semantics. Features are derived using detail histogram correlations obt...
Incremental view maintenance in object-oriented databases
Alhajj, R; Polat, Faruk (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 1998-06-01)
A database management system should support views to facilitate filtering of information in order to have only necessary and required information available to users with minimal delay Although a lot of research efforts concentrated on views within the conventional relational model, much more effort is required when object-oriented models are considered. However, supporting views is only a step forward in achieving the purpose that requires improving the performance of the system by considering incremental m...
