A major design issue in content-based image retrieval system is the selection of the feature set. This study attacks the problem of finding a discriminative feature for each class, which is optimal in some sense. The class-dependent feature is, then, used to calculate the membership value of each object class for content-based fuzzy image retrieval systems. The Best Representative Feature (BRF) for each class is identified in a training stage. Then, using the BRF of each object class, the segment groups in the images are labeled by the membership values of each object class. The segment groups are obtained in a greedy algorithm by minimizing the distance between each training object and the segment groups, using the BRF. This minimum distance is taken as the membership value of the training object for that particular segment group. Finally, the query object is matched to each segment group in a fuzzy database using the membership values of segment groups. The BRF is selected among the MPEG-7 descriptors. The proposed scheme yields substantially better retrieval rates compared to the available fixed feature content-based image retrieval systems.

Automatic image annotation by ensemble of visual descriptors Akbaş, Emre (2007-06-22) Automatic image annotation systems available in the literature concatenate color, texture and/or shape features in a single feature vector to learn a set of high level semantic categories using a single learning machine. This approach is quite naive to map the visual features to high level semantic information concerning the categories. Concatenation of many features with different visual properties and wide dynamical ranges may result in curse of dimensionality and redundancy problems. Additionally, it usu...
High resolution computational spectral imaging with photon sieves Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph (2014-10-27) Photon sieves, modifications of Fresnel zone plates, are a new class of diffractive image forming devices that open up new possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at UV and x-ray regime. In this paper, we develop a novel computational photon sieve imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging. For the spatially incoherent illumination, we study the problem of recovering the individual spectral images from the superimposed and blurred measurements of the propos...
Temporal watermarking of digital video Koz, A; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2003-04-11) A video watermarking method is presented, based on the temporal sensitivity of Human Visual System (HVS). The method exploits the temporal contrast thresholds of HVS to determine the spatio-temporal locations, where the watermark should be embedded, and the maximum strength of watermark, which still gives imperceptible distortion after watermark insertion. The robustness results indicate that the proposed scheme survives video distortions, such as additive Gaussian noise, ITU H.263+ coding at medium bit rat...
Design and implementation of a plug-in framework for distributed object technologies Kadıoğlu, Koray; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) This thesis presents a framework design and implementation that enables run-time selection of different remote call mechanisms. In order to implement an extendable and modular system with run-time upgrading facility, a plug-in framework design is used. Since such a design requires enhanced usage of run-time facilities of the programming language that is used to implement the framework, in this study Java is selected because of its reflection and dynamic class loading facilities. A sample usage of this frame...
Automatic image annotation by ensemble of visual descriptors Akbaş, Emre; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) Automatic image annotation is the process of automatically producing words to de- scribe the content for a given image. It provides us with a natural means of semantic indexing for content based image retrieval. In this thesis, two novel automatic image annotation systems targeting dierent types of annotated data are proposed. The rst system, called Supervised Ensemble of Visual Descriptors (SEVD), is trained on a set of annotated images with predened class labels. Then, the system auto- matically annotates...
