This thesis investigates efficient manual image tagging approaches. It specifically focuses on organising images into clusters depending on their content, and thus on simplifying the selection of similar photos. Such selections may be efficiently tagged with common tags. The thesis investigates known techniques for visualisation of image collections according to the image content, together with dimensionality reduction methods. The most suitable methods are considered and evaluated. The thesis proposes a novel method for presenting image collections on 2D displays which combines a timeline with similarity grouping (Timeline projection). This method utilizes t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding (t-SNE) for otpimally projecting groupings in high dimensional feature spaces onto the low-dimensional screen. Various modifications of t-SNE and ways to combine it with the timeline are discussed and chosen combination is implemented as a web interface and is qualitatively evaluated in a user study. Possible directions of further research on the subject are suggested.

This project deals vith analysis and testing of algorithms and statistical models, that could potentionaly improve resuts of FIT BUT in ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge and TRECVID. Multinomial model was tested. Phonotactic Intersession Variation Compensation (PIVCO) model was used for reducing random e ffects in image representation and for dimensionality reduction. PIVCO - dimensionality reduction achieved the best mean average precision while reducing to one-twenyth of original dimension. KPCA model was tested to approximate Kernel SVM. All statistical models were tested on Pascal VOC 2007 dataset.

This thesis studies, implements and experiments with specific application-oriented approaches for exploring and querying multi-dimensional datasets. The first part of the thesis scrutinizes indexing of the complex space of chemical compounds, and details a design of high-performance retrieval system for small molecules. The resulting system is then utilized within a wider context of federated search in heterogeneous data and metadata related to the chemical datasets. In the second part, the thesis focuses on fast visualization and exploration of many-dimensional data that originate from single- cell cytometry. Self-organizing maps are used to derive fast methods for analysis of the datasets, and used as a base for a novel data visualization algorithm. Finally, a similar approach is utilized for highly interactive exploration of multimedia datasets. The main contributions of the thesis comprise the advancement in optimization and methods for querying the chemical data implemented in the Sachem database cartridge, the federated, SPARQL-based interface to Sachem that provides the heterogeneous search support, dimensionality reduction algorithm EmbedSOM, design and implementation of the specific EmbedSOM-backed analysis tool for flow and mass cytometry, and design and implementation of the multimedia...

Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging is noninvasive technique often used in plant physiology, molecular biology and precision farming. Captured sequences of images record the dynamic of chlorophyll fluorescence emission which contain the information about spatial and time changes of photosynthetic activity of plant. The goal of this Ph.D. thesis is to contribute to the development of chlorophyll fluorescence imaging by application of advanced statistical techniques. Methods of statistical pattern recognition allow to identify images in the captured sequence that are reach for information about observed biotic stress and to find small subsets of fluorescence images suitable for following analysis. I utilized only methods for identification of small sets of images providing high performance with realistic time consumptions.

The goal of the thesis was to study the indoor air quality measurement focusing on the concentration of carbon dioxide. Within the theoretical part, data mining including basic classification methods and approaches to dimensionality reduction was introduced. In addition, the principles of the developed system within IoTCloud project and available possibilities for measurement of necessary quantities were studied. In the practical part, the suitable sensors for given rooms were selected and long-term measurement was performed. Measured data was used to create the system for window opening detection and for the design of appropriate way of air change regulation in a room. The aim of regulation was to improve air quality using natural ventilation.

This diploma's thesis is based around creating a classifier, which will be able to recognize an email communication received by Topefekt.s.r.o on daily basis and assigning it into classification class. This project will implement some of the most commonly used classification methods including machine learning. Thesis will also include evaluation comparing all used methods.
