Fusing MPEG-7 visual descriptors for image classiffication
W.Duch, J.Kacprzyk, E.Oja, and S.Zadrozny(Eds.), Artificial Neural Networks,Part II: Formal Models and their Applications, Springer, Vol. 3697, 2005, pp 847-852
ABSTRACT
This paper proposes three content-based image classification techniques based on fusing various low-level MPEG-7 visual descriptors. Fusion is necessary as descriptors would be otherwise incompatible and inappropriate to directly include e.g. in a Euclidean distance. Three approaches are described: A "merging" fusion combined with an SVM classifier, a back-propagation fusion combined with a KNN classifier and a Fuzzy-ART neurofuzzy network. In the latter case, fuzzy rules can be extracted in an effort to bridge the "semantic gap" between the low-level descriptors and the high-level semantics of an image. All networks were evaluated using content from the repository of the aceMedia project and more specifically in a beach/urban scene classification problem.
