In this paper, a generic texture descriptor, namely, Statistical Analysis of Structural Information (SASI) is introduced as a representation of texture. SASI is based on statistics of clique autocorrelation coefficients, calculated over structuring windows. SASI defines a set of clique windows to extract and measure various structural properties of texture by using a spatial multi-resolution method. Experimental results, performed on various image databases, indicate that SASI is more successful then the Gabor Filter descriptors in capturing small granularities and discontinuities such as sharp corners and abrupt changes. Due to the flexibility in designing the clique windows, SASI reaches higher average retrieval rates compared to Gabor Filter descriptors. However, the price of this performance is increased computational complexity. (C) 2003 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

SASI: A new texture descriptor for content based image retrieval
Carkacioglu, A; Yarman-Vural, F (2001-10-10)
In this paper, a new texture descriptor, namely, Statistical Analysis of Structural Information (SASI) is introduced as a representation of texture. SASI is based on statistics of clique autocorrelation functions calculated over a set of directional moving windows. SASI defines a set of windows to extract and measure various structural properties of texture by using a spatial multiresolution method. Although it works in spatial domain, it measures the spectral information of a given texture. Experimental re...
On output independence and complementariness in rank-based multiple classifier decision systems
Saranlı, Afşar (Elsevier BV, 2001-12-01)
This study presents a theoretical analysis of output independence and complementariness between classifiers in a rank-based multiple classifier decision system in the context of the partitioned observation space theory. To enable such an analysis, an information theoretic interpretation of a rank-based multiple classifier system is developed and basic concepts from information theory are applied to develop measures for output independence and complementariness. It is shown that output independence of classi...
Relative consistency of projective reconstructions obtained from the same image pair
Otlu, Burcak; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit; Hassanpour, Reza (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-08-01)
This study obtains projective reconstructions of an object or a scene from its image pair and measures relative consistency of these projective reconstructions. 3D points are estimated from an image pair using projective and epipolar geometry. Two measures are presented for verification of projective reconstructions with each other. These measures are based on the equality of ratios between the x-, y- and z-coordinates of 3D reconstructed points which are obtained from the same corresponding points. This in...
Shape : representation, description, similarity and recognition
Arıca, Nafiz; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, we study the shape analysis problem and propose new methods for shape description, similarity and recognition. Firstly, we introduce a new shape descriptor in a two-step method. In the first step, the 2-D shape information is mapped into a set of 1-D functions. The mapping is based on the beams, which are originated from a boundary point, connecting that point with the rest of the points on the boundary. At each point, the angle between a pair of beams is taken as a random variable to define...
Nested local symmetry set
Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2000-08-01)
A local-symmetry-based representation for shapes in arbitrary dimensions and a method for its computation are presented. The method depends on analyzing the Hessian of a specific boundaryness function, v, which is computed as the minimizer of an energy functional. The method is basically a generalized ridge finding scheme in which the ridges are defined in terms of the orbit of the gradient vector del v under the action of the Hessian of v. Once the ridges are determined, the local extrema of the magnitude ...
