Self-Organizing Visual Maps

چکیده
This paper deals with automatically learning the spatial distribution of a set of measurements: images, in the examples presented here. The solution to this problem can be viewed as an instance of robot mapping although it can also be used in other contexts. We examine the problem of organizing an ensemble of images of an environment in terms of the positions from which the images were obtained, and where only limited prior odometric information is available. Our approach employs a feature-based method derived from a probabilistic robot localization framework. Initially, a set of visual landmarks are selected from the images and correspondences are found across the ensemble. The images are then localized by first assembling the small subset of images for which odometric confidence is high, and sequentially inserting the remaining images, localizing each against the previous estimates, and taking advantage of any priors that are available. We present experimental results validating the approach, and demonstrating metrically and topologically accurate results over two large image ensembles, even given only four initial ground truth poses. Finally, we discuss the results, their relationship to the autonomous exploration of an unknown environment, and their utility for robot localization and navigation.

Ant Colonies, Self-Organizing Maps, and A Hybrid Classification Model
Ant Colonies (or Swarm Intelligence) and Self-Organizing Maps (a type of unsupervised Neural Network) have become two important and powerful classification heuristics in computer science and artificial intelligence. After first describing each model, a hybrid is introduced that has the visual appeal of swarm intelligence and the efficiency of self-organizing maps.
متن کاملEmergence of ontological relations from visual data with Self-Organizing Maps
In this paper we examine how Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) can be used in detecting and describing emergent ontological relations between semantic objects and object classes in a visual database. The ontological relations we have studied include co-existence, taxonomies of visual and semantic similarity and spatial relationships. The used database contains 2618 images, each of which belongs to on...

This study aims to segment the market based on demographical, psychological, and behavioral variables, and seeks to investigate their relationship with green consumer behavior. In this research, self-organizing maps are used to segment and to determine the features of green consumer behavior. This was a survey type of research study in which eight variables were selected from the demographical,...
متن کاملReconstructing Self Organizing Maps as Spider Graphs for better visual interpretation of large unstructured datasets
-Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) are popular unsupervised artificial neural network used to reduce dimensions and visualize data. Visual interpretation from Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) has been limited due to grid approach of data representation, which makes inter-scenario analysis impossible. The paper proposes a new way to structure SOM. This model reconstructs SOM to show strength between variable...
متن کاملDeveloping Initial State Fuzzy Cognitive Maps with Self-Organizing Maps
Using soft computing methods, the authors collect and process relevant user-generated information from the web. Through the use of self-organizing maps, fuzzy cognitive maps are constructed. The fuzzy cognitive map is a generated representation of the emergent web semantics of the dataset. In the next step, the fuzzy cognitive maps are enriched with related lexical content and stored in a graph...
متن کاملVisual analysis of self-organizing maps
Abstract. In the article, an additional visualization of self-organizing maps (SOM) has been investigated. The main objective of self-organizing maps is data clustering and their graphical presentation. Opportunities of SOM visualization in four systems (NeNet, SOM-Toolbox, Databionic ESOM and Viscovery SOMine) have been investigated. Each system has its additional tools for visualizing SOM. A ...
