The video databases have become popular in various areas due to the recent advances in technology. Video archive systems need user-friendly interfaces to retrieve video frames. In this paper, a user interface based on natural language processing (NLP) to a video database system is described. The video database is based on a content-based spatio-temporal video data model. The data model is focused on the semantic content which includes objects, activities, and spatial properties of objects. Spatio-temporal relationships between video objects and also trajectories of moving objects can be queried with this data model. In this video database system, a natural language interface enables flexible querying. The queries, which are given as English sentences, are parsed using link parser. The semantic representations of the queries are extracted from their syntactic structures using information extraction techniques. The extracted semantic representations are used to call the related parts of the underlying video database system to return the results of the queries. Not only exact matches but similar objects and activities are also returned from the database with the help of the conceptual ontology module. This module is implemented using a distance-based method of semantic similarity search on the semantic domain-independent ontology, WordNet.

A FUZZY CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR MULTIMEDIA DATA WITH A TEXT-BASED AUTOMATIC ANNOTATION SCHEME Kucuk, Dilek; Burcuozgur, N.; Yazıcı, Adnan; KOYUNCU, Murat (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2009-08-01) The size of multimedia data is increasing fast due to the abundance of multimedia applications. Modeling the semantics of the data effectively is crucial for proper management of it. In this paper, we present a fuzzy conceptual data model for multimedia data which is also generic in the sense that it can be adapted to all multimedia domains. The model takes an object-oriented approach and it handles fuzziness at different representation levels where fuzziness is inherent in multimedia applications and shoul...
Spatio-temporal querying in video databases Koprulu, M; Cicekli, NK; Yazıcı, Adnan (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-22) A video data model that supports spatio-temporal querying in videos is presented. The data model is focused on the semantic content of video streams. Objects, events, activities, and spatial properties of objects are main interests of the model. The data model enables the user to query fuzzy spatio-temporal relationships between video objects and also trajectories of moving objects. A prototype of the proposed model has been implemented.
Fuzzy spatial data cube construction and its use in association rule mining Işık, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
Dynamic information handling in continuous time Boolean Network model of gene interactions Öktem, Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-01) Growing information and knowledge on gene regulatory networks, which are typical hybrid systems, has led a significant interest in modeling those networks. An important direction of gene network modeling is studying the abstract network models to understand the behavior of a class of systems. Boolean Networks has emerged as an important model class on this direction. Limitations of traditional Boolean Networks led the researchers to propose several generalizations. In this work, one such class, the Continuo...
Automatic eye tracking and intermediate view reconstruction for 3D imaging systems Bediz, Yusuf; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In recent years, the utilization of 3D display systems became popular in many application areas. One of the most important issues in the utilization of these systems is to render the correct view to the observer based on his/her position. In this thesis, we propose and implement a single user view rendering system for autostereoscopic/stereoscopic displays. The system can easily be installed on a standard PC together with an autostereoscopic display or stereoscopic glasses (shutter, polarized, pulfrich, and...
