چکیده

Conceptual graphs are very useful for representing structured knowledge. However, existing formulations of fuzzy conceptual graphs are not suitable for matching images of natural scenes. This paper presents a new variation of fuzzy conceptual graphs that is more suited to image matching. This variant differentiates between a model graph that describes a known scene and an image graph which describes an input image. A new measurement is defined to measure how well a model graph matches an image graph. A fuzzy graph matching algorithm is developed based on error-tolerant subgraph isomorphism. Test results show that the matching algorithm gives very good results for matching images to predefined scene models

Incomplete and Fuzzy Conceptual Graphs to Automatically Index Medical Reports

Most of Information Retrieval (IR) systems are still based on bag of word paradigm. This is a strong limitation if one needs high precision answers. For example, in restricted domain, like medicine, user builds short and precise query, like “Show me chest CT images with emphysema.”, and expects from the system precise answers. In such a case, the use of natural language processing to model docu...

Structural Indexing Extended to Fuzzy Graphs of 2D Parts

Robust object recognition and image retrieval often lead to the construction of attributed graphs. When dealing with images of real scenes, these graphs must include fuzzy attributes to account for interpretation uncertainties and describe properly the observed object or scene. This paper first presents a 3D object model that requires the use of a graph with fuzzy attributes. This model is comp...

Coverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs

The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...

Plant Classification in Images of Natural Scenes Using Segmentations Fusion

This paper presents a novel approach to automatic classifying and identifying of tree leaves using image segmentation fusion. With the development of mobile devices and remote access, automatic plant identification in images taken in natural scenes has received much attention. Image segmentation plays a key role in most plant identification methods, especially in complex background images. Wher...

Flexible Comparison of Conceptual Graphs

Conceptual graphs allow for powerful and computationally affordable representation of the semantic contents of natural language texts. We propose a method of comparison (approximate matching) of conceptual graphs. The method takes into account synonymy and subtype/supertype relationships between the concepts and relations used in the conceptual graphs, thus allowing for greater flexibility of a...
