GÖRÜNTÜ EŞLEME VE GENETİK ALGORİTMALAR KULLANARAK GÖRÜNTÜ İÇİNDE GÖRÜNTÜ ARAMA.

Main focus of this work is to realize image searching within another image in an efficient way. Image searching within another image is accomplished through the integrated use of image matching techniques and searching algorithms. Artificial neural networks along with various image features such as average color value, color standard deviation, correlation and edge parameters are used for image matching whereas genetic algorithms were used for image searching. In the work presented in this paper, an integrated method based on smart searching algorithms, quick image matching methods and parallel programming techniques were proposed and implemented. Proposed method was tested on several low and highresolution reference and template images. Results revealed that the proposed method can successfully match images and significantly reduce the total search time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
