Image Theft Detection with Self-Organising Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an application of the TS-SOM variant of the self-organising map algorithm on the problem of copyright theft detection for bitmap images is shown. The algorithm facilitates the location of originals of copied, damaged or modified images within a database of hundreds of thousands of stock images. The method is shown to outperform binary decision tree indexing with invariant frame detection.

GalSOM - Colour-Based Image Browsing and Retrieval with Tree-Structured Self-Organising Maps
This paper describes an image browsing and retrieval application called GalSOM. Bitmap images are described by their colour histograms and sorted using an improved variant of the tree-structured self-organising map (TS-SOM) algorithm. The advantages of using such a system are discussed in detail, and their application to the problem of image theft detection is proposed.
متن کاملSelf-organising Maps for Change Detection and Monitoring of Human Activity in Satellite Imagery
Self-Organising Maps (SOMs) have been successfully applied to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). In this study, we investigate the potential of PicSOM, an image database browsing system, applied to remote sensing images. Databases of small images were artificially created, either from a single satellite image for object detection, or two satellite images when considering change detection. By...
متن کاملOn Analytical Study of Self-Affine Maps
Self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. They belong to the general category of patch-based methods. Particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. By minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. Almost all image process...
متن کاملImage classification of artificial fingerprints using Gabor wavelet filters, self-organising maps and Hermite/Laguerre neural networks
Image classification was performed using Gabor wavelet filters for image feature extraction, self-organising maps (SOM) for dimensional reduction of Gabor wavelet filters, and forward (FNN), Hermite (HNN) and Laguerre (LNN) neural networks to classify real and artificial fingerprint images from optical coherence tomography (OCT). Use of a SOM after Gabor edge detection of OCT images of fingerpr...
متن کاملSurvey on Supervised Classification using Self Organising Maps
Image classification is an important topic in digital image processing, and it could be solved by pattern recognition methods. This paper is a survey based on Self Organising Maps used as a supervised algorithm for image classification. It is observed that SOM can be used as a supervised method, and can have better advantages: better predictions, easier to interpret and better stability. Keywor...
