Tagged potential field extension to self organizing feature maps

1998-04-23
This paper proposes an escape methodology to the local minima problem of self organizing feature maps generated in the overlapping regions which are equidistant to the corresponding winners. Two new versions of self organizing feature map are derived equipped with such a methodology. The first approach introduces an excitation term, which increases the convergence speed and efficiency of the algorithm while increasing the probability of escaping from local minima. In the second approach we associate a learning set which specifies attractive and repulsive field of output neurons. Results indicate that accuracy percentile of the new methods are higher than the original algorithm while they have the ability to escape from local minima.

Edge-Aware Stereo Matching with O(1) Complexity
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-01-26)
In this paper, a novel local stereo matching algorithm is introduced, providing precise disparity maps with low computational complexity. Following the common steps of local matching methods, namely cost calculation, aggregation, minimization and occlusion handling; the time consuming intensity dependent aggregation procedure is improved in terms of both speed and precision. For this purpose, a novel approach, denoted as permeability filtering (PF), is introduced, engaging computationally efficient two pass...
Efficient Edge-Preserving Stereo Matching
Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2011-11-13)
A computationally efficient stereo matching algorithm is introduced providing high precision dense disparity maps via local aggregation approach. The proposed algorithm exploits a novel paradigm, namely separable successive weighted summation (SWS) among horizontal and vertical directions with constant operational complexity, providing effective connected 2D support regions based on local color similarities. The intensity adaptive aggregation enables crisp disparity maps which preserve object boundaries and...
Step down logistic regression for feature selection
Baykal, Nazife (1997-08-01)
This paper proposes a methodology to the feature selection problem of pattern classification problems. For this purpose, pattern recognition or signal processing involves two major tasks: clustering transformation and then, feature selection. The concept of clustering reduces the dimensionality of the measurement space and generates a set of features. However, there is so far no covering theory how to select discriminative and biologically important features from the pool of generated features. This paper d...
Growing 3D maps from 2D SLAM maps obtained by indoor SLAM with heterogeneous mobile robots
Çetinkaya, Burak; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
This thesis focuses on growing 3D structure of an indoor environment from 2D maps constructed by Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm at different height levels explored by heterogeneous vehicles. Vehicles differing mainly in their dynamics explore an indoor environment area using laser scanners at different height levels and creates 2D SLAM maps for each height level based on FastSLAM algorithm. This algorithm utilizes feature based scan matching and natural landmarks. These obtained 2D S...
