Conference Object Slim-Tree and Bitmatrix Index Structures in Image Retrieval System Using Mpeg-7 Descriptors(Ieee, 2008) Acar, Esra; Arslan, Serdar; Yazici, Adnan; Koyuncu, MuratContent-based retrieval of multimedia data has still been an active research area. The efficient retrieval in natural images has been proven a difficult task for content-based image retrieval systems. In this paper, we present a system that adapts two different index structures, namely Slim-Tree and BitMatrix, for efficient retrieval of images based on multidimensional low-level features such as color, texture and shape. These index structures also use metric space. We use MPEG-7 Descriptors extracted from images to represent these features and store them in a native XML database. The low-level features; Color Layout (CL), Dominant Color (DC), Edge Histogram (EH) and Region Shape (RS) are used in Slim-Tree and BitMatrix and aggregated by Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) method to find final similarity between any two objects. The experiments included in the paper are in the subject of index construction and update, query response time and retrieval effectiveness using ANMRR performance metric and precision/recall scores. The experimental results strengthen the case that uses BitMatrix along with Ordered Weighted Averaging method in content-based image retrieval systems.Conference Object A Novel Fuzzy Visual Object Classification Approach(Ieee, 2012) Altintakan, Umit Lutfu; Yazici, Adnan; Koyuncu, MuratSupport Vector Machines (SVMs) have been extensively used for visual object classification to bridge the semantic gap between the low level features and high level concepts. SVM treats each training input equally during the construction of its decision surface which results in poor learning machines if training data include outliers. In this paper, a novel fuzzy visual object classification approach utilizing Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) in SVM is proposed. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed Fuzzy SVM compared to the traditional SVM.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1A Framework for Fuzzy Video Content Extraction, Storage and Retrieval(Ieee, 2010) Koyuncu, Murat; Yilmaz, Turgay; Yildirim, Yakup; Yazici, AdnanThis study presents a new comprehensive framework for semantic content extraction from raw video, storage of the extracted data and retrieval of the stored data. Objects, spatial relations between objects, events and temporal relations between events, which are considered as semantic contents of the video, are extracted automatically to a certain extend with the developed approach. Extraction process is supported by manual annotation when automatic extraction is not satisfactory. The extracted information is stored in an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database in which the database is enhanced with a fuzzy knowledge-based system. Domain specific deduction rules can be defined to derive new information about semantic contents of the video. The database is also supported by an access structure to increase retrieval efficiency. The proposed framework is capable of handling uncertain data arising from annotation process or video nature.
