Doctoral Dissertations

Image classification has been a core topic in the computer vision community. Its recent success with convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm has led to various real world applications such as large scale management of photos/videos on cloud/social-media, image based search for online retailers, self-driving cars, building robots and healthcare. Image classification can be broadly categorized into binary, multi-class and multi-label classification problems. Binary classification involves assigning one of the two class labels to an instance. In multi-class classification problem, an instance should be categorized into one of more than two classes. Multi-label classification is a generalized version of the multi-class …
