Item Open Access Finding compound structures in images using image segmentation and graph-based knowledge discovery(IEEE, 2009-07) Zamalieva, Daniya; Aksoy, Selim; Tilton J. C.We present an unsupervised method for discovering compound image structures that are comprised of simpler primitive objects. An initial segmentation step produces image regions with homogeneous spectral content. Then, the segmentation is translated into a relational graph structure whose nodes correspond to the regions and the edges represent the relationships between these regions. We assume that the region objects that appear together frequently can be considered as strongly related. This relation is modeled using the transition frequencies between neighboring regions, and the significant relations are found as the modes of a probability distribution estimated using the features of these transitions. Experiments using an Ikonos image show that subgraphs found within the graph representing the whole image correspond to parts of different high-level compound structures. ©2009 IEEE.Item Open Access Kelime histogram modeli ile histopatolojik görüntü sınıflandırılması(IEEE, 2011-04) Özdemir, Erdem; Sökmensüer, C.; Gündüz-Demir, ÇiğdemColon cancer, which is one of the most common cancer type, could be cured with its early diagnosis. In the current practice of medicine, there are many screening techniques such as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and stool test, however the most effective and most widely used method for cancer diagnosis is to take tissue sections with biopsy and examine them under a microscope. As this examination is based on visual interpretation, it may lead to subjective decisions and diagnostic differences among pathologists. The need of reducing inter-variability in cancer diagnosis has led to studies for extraction of features from biopsy images and development of algorithms that give objective results. In this paper, we propose a method for the automated classification of a colon tissue image with the features extracted from a histogram that models the existence of image regions determined in an unsupervised way. Experiments on colon tissue images show that the proposed method leads to more successful results compared to its counterparts. Moreover, the proposed method, which uses color intensities for feature extraction, has the potential of giving better results with the use of additional features. © 2011 IEEE.
