Introduction • Operating on raster image data = image space • Images can be partitioned into regions or objects (groups of like pixels) • Like objects compose classes • Would like to know general spatial, i.e., directional, arrangement of these Depends on DSK
Introduction (cont.) • Association Rules seem appropriate – but not made for raster data, so… • Need an approach for finding generalized fuzzy association rules on object spatial relations pulled from image space
Motivation • GENERAL: Periodic collection of vast amounts of data = tedious for human to analyze • SPECIFIC: OKEANOS project sponsored by NAVO collects many seafloor images • Data Mining/Knowledge Discovery helps
Background • Fuzzy Set Theory (Zadeh) • Fuzzy Relative Position (Bloch) • Association Rules (Agrawal et al.) • Fuzzy Association Rules (Kuok, Fu & Wong) • Spatial Data Mining (Koperski & Han) • Object co-occurrence rules (Ordoñez & Omiecinski)
R A R A Fuzzy Spatial Relations • I. Bloch applies fuzzy sets to spatial relations • Fuzzy concepts of position: right of is fuzzy • Morphology (shape & size) has effect…
Fuzzy Spatial Relations (cont.) • Objects described as fuzzy sets (crisp OK) Ex. A(x) and R(x) , xS • Landscape: (R)(x) is whole image S in relation to R in direction • Relation: want A(x) and (R)(x) overlap
H G Reference Object #2 OO#4 Background; Empty Space F Test Image Landscape RO#2, =0 Fuzzy Landscape (single)
Membership Interval • Bloch algorithm on all points in objects • Result: 3 stats per relation, M[N,]: Captures imprecision
R A R A Fuzzy Relation Stats N=0.9959, M=0.9999, = 1.0000 N=0.7557, M=0.9079, = 1.0000
Image Data Mining • Ordoñez and Omiecinski have done preliminary work in image space • Used Blobworld to convert images to transactions, objects to item meta-data • ARM to find simple co-occurrence rules
Hypothesis • Unified system of above can be made • Raster Image data input (K&H) • Fuzzy Spatial Relation metadata (Bloch) • Fuzzy Assoc Rule mining (Agrawal et al., KFW) • Result: useful fuzzy rules describing generalities of object spatial relations
Main Problem • How to get from Fuzzy Relation metadata tuples (Bloch) to useful rules? • What are rule forms? • What are Support and Confidence or analogs thereof? • Time? Space? Usefulness?
Theory • A pre-emptive approach • By aggregating objects into classes first, can do pseudo-mining right away • PRO: Few landscapes, small, quick, no mining per se • CON: lost info (e.g., no more indiv objs)
Reference Object #7 Background; Empty Space Test Image Landscape RO#7, =0 Fuzzy Landscape (multi)
Theory (cont.) • “Class-class” or “Pixel-Pixel” rule form: • S & C For any pixel x of class A and any given pixel y of class B, it is implied that y is in direction of x, with some degree of confidence supported by some portion of the (meta) database.
Theory (cont.) • Prev. ex.:
Theory (cont.) • More traditional… (aggreg loses obj id) • Given: relations for all obj pairs in 4 dirs • 1. For any object x of class A, there exists some object y of class B, such that that y is in direction of x, with some degree of confidence supported by some portion of the (meta) database.
Theory (cont.) • Prev. ex. (same source objs):
Theory (cont.) Object based
Theory (cont.) • 2.
Theory (cont.) object
Time Parallel • Landscape generation/Relation extraction independent for given RO, • “Embarrassingly Parallel” • mpiShell by Wooley shortens development time, allows user to exploit parallel • Not linear: 16CPU 4; BUT very useful considering min implementation effort…
Experiments:Synthetic Data Sample Graphs Scatter plots of rules mined from synthetic images with a fuzzy spatial relation extractor, using Obj-Obj rules
Synthetic Data • Synthetic Data Generator to produce images with bias – “loaded” images • Can we extract rules that reflect the bias? • Regular • Extended • Half
Side Effects • Edge Effect – image edges • Counterbias – wrong direction • “Spillover” - other classes benefit • Probability – bias is NOT a guarantee
Sample 4 R=G, A=H of 6 classes, bias=90% Extended, =0
Sample 2 R=G, A=H of 6 classes, bias=80% Extended, =0
Sample 10 R=G, A=H of 6 classes, bias=95%, =0
R=H, A=I R=J, A=I Half A=I of 6 classes, bias=85% Half, =0
Conclusions • Fairly recent discovery of Association Rules (1993) has enjoyed much growth. (Agrawal) • Expansion into categorical, fuzzy , etc. (Srikant, Kuok/Fu/Wong, et al.) • Many have done work with Spatial Databases – in Object Space (Koperski & Han) • BUT…
Conclusions • Preliminary investigation on image object co-occurrence rules by Ordonez and Omiecinski aside… • Very little work done in Association Rule Mining in (raster) Image Space, esp. fuzzy • We have endeavored to fill this gap
Conclusions • Used Bloch Fuzzy Spatial Relations as tool for meta-data generation • Used techniques inspired by (not implemented) Kuok, Fu & Wong • Showed that we can find interesting and useful rules – both “loaded” and unknown
Future Work • Better exploitation of fuzzy membership interval • Application of thresholding typical to most AR to prune low fuzzy values • Addition of a distance measure attribute • Exploration of different kinds of rules such as Spatial Relation Co-occurence
