VITALAS at TRECVID-2008
In this paper, we present our experiments in TRECVID 2008 about High-Level feature extraction task. This is the first year for our participation in TRECVID, our system adopts some popular approaches that other workgroups proposed before. We proposed 2 advanced low-level features NEW Gabor texture descriptor and the Compact-SIFT Codeword histogram. Our system applied well-known LIBSVM to train the SVM classifier for the basic classifier. In fusion step, some methods were employed such as the Voting, SVM-base, HCRF and Bootstrap Average AdaBoost(BAAB)
Shape-based defect classification for Non Destructive Testing
The aim of this work is to classify the aerospace structure defects detected
by eddy current non-destructive testing. The proposed method is based on the
assumption that the defect is bound to the reaction of the probe coil impedance
during the test. Impedance plane analysis is used to extract a feature vector
from the shape of the coil impedance in the complex plane, through the use of
some geometric parameters. Shape recognition is tested with three different
machine-learning based classifiers: decision trees, neural networks and Naive
Bayes. The performance of the proposed detection system are measured in terms
of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision and Matthews correlation
coefficient. Several experiments are performed on dataset of eddy current
signal samples for aircraft structures. The obtained results demonstrate the
usefulness of our approach and the competiveness against existing descriptors.Comment: 5 pages, IEEE International Worksho
A Novel Scheme for Intelligent Recognition of Pornographic Images
Harmful contents are rising in internet day by day and this motivates the
essence of more research in fast and reliable obscene and immoral material
filtering. Pornographic image recognition is an important component in each
filtering system. In this paper, a new approach for detecting pornographic
images is introduced. In this approach, two new features are suggested. These
two features in combination with other simple traditional features provide
decent difference between porn and non-porn images. In addition, we applied
fuzzy integral based information fusion to combine MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron)
and NF (Neuro-Fuzzy) outputs. To test the proposed method, performance of
system was evaluated over 18354 download images from internet. The attained
precision was 93% in TP and 8% in FP on training dataset, and 87% and 5.5% on
test dataset. Achieved results verify the performance of proposed system versus
other related works
An information-driven framework for image mining
[Abstract]: Image mining systems that can automatically extract semantically meaningful information (knowledge) from image data are increasingly in demand. The fundamental challenge in image mining is to determine how low-level, pixel representation contained in a raw image or
image sequence can be processed to identify high-level spatial objects and relationships. To meet
this challenge, we propose an efficient information-driven framework for image mining. We distinguish four levels of information: the Pixel Level, the Object Level, the Semantic Concept Level, and the Pattern and Knowledge Level. High-dimensional indexing schemes and retrieval
techniques are also included in the framework to support the flow of information among the levels. We believe this framework represents the first step towards capturing the different levels of information present in image data and addressing the issues and challenges of discovering useful
patterns/knowledge from each level
