Ontology based object learning and recognition

TL;DRAbstract

This thesis deals with the problem of complex object recognition. The proposed approach takes place in the conceptual framework of cognitive vision. This thesis shows how an object categorization system is set up in three phases. The knowledge acquisition phase consists of acquiring domain knowledge as a taxonomy/partonomy of domain classes. It also consists of acquiring the visual description of these domain classes. This description is driven by a visual concept ontology composed of several types of concepts (spatial concepts and relations, color concepts and texture concepts). Each visual concept of the ontology is associated with low-level features and algorithms. The visual concept ontology stands as a user-friendly interface between expert knowledge and image processing level. The learning phase results in a set of visual concept detectors. The role of a visual concept detector is to detect visual concepts used during knowledge acquisition in any image. A visual concept detector
