Different kinds of visual sub–structures (such as homogeneous, edge-like and junction-like patches) can be distinguished by the intrinsic dimensionality of the local signals. The concept of intrinsic dimensionality has been mostly exercised using discrete formulations. A recent work [KF03,FK03] introduced a continuous definition and showed that the inherent structure of the intrinsic dimensionality has essentially the form of a triangle. The current study work analyzes the distribution of signals according to the continuous interpretation of intrinsic dimensionality and the relation to orientation and optic flow features of image patches. Among other things, we give a quantitative interpretation of the distribution of signals according to their intrinsic dimensionality that reveals specific patterns associated to established sub-structures in computer vision. Furthermore, we link quantitative and qualitative properties of the distribution of optic-flow error estimates to these pattern

Local image structures and optic flow estimation Kalkan, Sinan; Worgotter, F.; Lappe, M.; Kruger, N. (Informa UK Limited, 2005-12-01) Different kinds of local image structures (such as homogeneous, edge-like and junction-like patches) can be distinguished by the intrinsic dimensionality of the local signals. Intrinsic dimensionality makes use of variance from a point and a line in spectral representation of the signal in order to classify it as homogeneous, edge-like or junction-like. The concept of intrinsic dimensionality has been mostly exercised using discrete formulations; however, recent work (Felsberg & Kriger 2003; Kruger & Felsbe...
Optimizing Parameters of Signal Temporal Logic Formulas with Local Search Aydin, Sertac Kagan; Aydın Göl, Ebru (2019-08-22) Signal temporal logic (STL) is a formal language for expressing temporal and real-time properties of real valued signals. In this paper, we study the problem of generating an STL formula from a labeled dataset. We propose a local search algorithm to synthesize parameters of a template formula. Starting from a random initial point, the parameter space is explored in the directions improving the formula evaluation. In addition, the local search method is integrated to the genetic algorithms developed for form...
Topological Navigation Algorithm Design and Analysis Using Spherical Images Şahin, Yasin; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-23) A topological navigation algorithm that has the capability of mapping and localization based on visual contents is proposed. Keypoint detection and feature matching are conducted on spherical images to extract significant features among sequential frames. Robot movement direction is estimated based on historical angle differences of significant features to reach the final destination. The navigation process is supported with visual egocentric localization to gain simultaneous localization and mapping compet...
Image segmentation with unified region and boundary characteristics within recursive shortest spanning tree Esen, E.; Alp, Y. K. (2007-06-13) The lack of boundary information in region based image segmentation algorithms resulted in many hybrid methods that integrate the complementary information sources of region and boundary, in order to increase the segmentation performance. In compliance with this trend, we propose a novel method to unify the region and boundary characteristics within the canonical Recursive Shortest Spanning Tree algorithm. The main idea is to incorporate the boundary information in the distance metric of RSST with minor cha...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
