K-automatic discovery in large image databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an unsupervised grouping approach of data items (images) in the context of content-based exploration of large image databases. More particularly, we highlight a partition clustering method, which proposes an experimental solution to the famous problem of automatic discovery of the number of clusters (k). The majority of partition clustering methods consider the manual valuation of k. Manual valuation of k may be interesting for specific domains of applications where the expert has an accurate idea of the number of clusters he wants, however it is unrealistic for generic applications, and needs important estimation efforts without any insurance of their efficiencies. MOTS-CLES : Regroupement, partition, K, nombre de groupes, image, bases de données.

Automatic Discovery of Technology Networks for Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects via Data Mining
Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملAutomatic Image Tagging Using Community-Driven Online Image Databases
Automatic image tagging is becoming increasingly important to organize large amounts of image data. To identify concepts in images, these tagging systems rely on large sets of annotated image training sets. In this work we analyze image sets taken from online community-driven image databases, such as Flickr, for use in concept identification. Realworld performance is measured using our flexible...
متن کاملAn image retrieval and semi-automatic annotation scheme for large image databases on the Web
Image annotation is used in traditional image database systems. However, without the help of human beings, it is very difficult to extract the semantic content of an image automatically. On the other hand, it is a tedious work to annotate images in large databases one by one manually. In this paper, we present a web based semi-automatic annotation and image retrieval scheme, which integrates im...
متن کاملAnnotating Images from Large Scale Web Community
Automatic image annotation is a process by which metadata is assigned in form of captioning or keywords to a digital image. Large annotation databases are difficult to build because some of the images have partial annotations and noise tags problem. In order to solve the problems with the annotation of large databases, in our approach we remove noise and invalid images from the dataset and extr...
