Automatic relevance determination for the estimation of relevant features for object recognition

2006-01-01
Object recognition from 2D images is a highly interesting problem. The final goal is to have a system which can recognize thousands of different categories like human beings do. However, hand labelling the 2D training images in order to segment the foreground (object) from the background is a very tedious job. Because of this reason, in recent years, intelligent systems which can learn object categories from unlabelled image sets have been introduced. In this case, an image is labelled by the objects which are present in the image but the objects are not segmented in the image. The main problem in this case is that the object and the background are used altogether in such unsupervised systems and segmentation must be performed by the system itself. Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD) [8] is a method which will be investigated in this study in order to segment foreground and background in an unsupervised object category learning system.

Experimental study on the sensitivity of autocalibration to projective camera model parameters
Hassanpour, Reza; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2006-04-01)
Existing methods of 3-D object modeling and recovering 3-D data from uncalibrated 2-D images are subject to errors introduced by assumptions about camera parameters and mismatches in finding point pairs in the images. In this study, we experimentally evaluate the effect of each of these assumptions together with the inaccuracy in the measurements in the images. Sensitivity of reconstruction errors to inaccuracies in the estimation of camera parameters and mismatches due to noise in input data is measured us...
Fine-Grained Object Recognition and Zero-Shot Learning in Remote Sensing Imagery
Sumbul, Gencer; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Aksoy, Selim (2018-02-01)
Fine-grained object recognition that aims to identify the type of an object among a large number of subcategories is an emerging application with the increasing resolution that exposes new details in image data. Traditional fully supervised algorithms fail to handle this problem where there is low betweenclass variance and high within-class variance for the classes of interest with small sample sizes. We study an even more extreme scenario named zero-shot learning (ZSL) in which no training example exists f...
Fine-grained object recognition and zero-shot learning in multispectral imagery
Sumbul, Gencer; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; AKSOY, SELİM (2018-05-05)
We present a method for fine-grained object recognition problem, that aims to recognize the type of an object among a large number of sub-categories, and zero-shot learning scenario on multispectral images. In order to establish a relation between seen classes and new unseen classes, a compatibility function between image features extracted from a convolutional neural network and auxiliary information of classes is learnt. Knowledge transfer for unseen classes is carried out by maximizing this function. Per...
Visual similarity for hdr images with applications to tone mapping
Aydınlılar, Merve; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-2-15)
Assessing visual similarity between images is important for many computer vision applications. So far, investigations on visual similarity have been confined to low dynamic range images. However, recently, there is a growing interest to high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. In this thesis, the aim is to shed light on visual image similarity for HDR images by following an experimental approach. To this end, a user experiment is conducted through a novel web-based interface, in which the participants assess the p...
A comparative study on pose estimation algorithms using visual data
Çetinkaya, Güven; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Computation of the position and orientation of an object with respect to a camera from its images is called pose estimation problem. Pose estimation is one of the major problems in computer vision, robotics and photogrammetry. Object tracking, object recognition, self-localization of robots are typical examples for the use of pose estimation. Determining the pose of an object from its projections requires 3D model of an object in its own reference system, the camera parameters and 2D image of the object. Mo...
