Image Search and Classification Isaac Caldwell ECE172A Project Report
Motivation • Develop image processing algorithms that allow searching directly on the image, not in the image tags. • The basic concept is a 2D Google search.
Related Research • Perona/CalTech – Unsupervised. • Boutell/UofRochester – Trained with whole images.
Approach • Unsupervised approach relies on heavier processing. Not going anywhere in 4 weeks. • Training • Features: complexity and color. • K-means separation fails as sample space overlaps. No distinct clusters. • Nearest Neighbor requires delineating training sets.
Cost Analysis • Indicate the financial advantages for the customer • Compare quality and price with those of the competition
Results • Not so great..
Results • Three Categories: Sky, Foliage, Dirt
Results • Closeup of the last slide...
Improvements • Expand the training data and improve its quality. • Adding detected sector properties ( beyond {E,R,G,B}.) • Kill the nasty bug in the entropy scaling.
Closing • Replace the core engine. • The concept of an “image-in, image-out” search engine really needs to be unsupervised. • The implementation has potential as a segmentation scheme. • Some work on the mapping output could be used as an image classifier (lots of sky or lots of dirt).
