Wonyong Eom a Master s in IVY lab under the supervision

of Prof. Yong Man Ro, received the Outstanding Thesis Award of the Korean Multimedia Society conference which was held on the 20th of November, 2009. The title of the thesis is

"The comparison of Bag of Visual Words with MPEG-7 visual descriptor in data categorization for transformed image."

In the thesis, the local and global descriptors are compared for mixed image data categorization by using image data concept detection. Experimental results show that the descriptor that is appropriate for the properties of transformed image data can be efficiently selected. Experimental results also show the significant improvement in data categorization using the descriptor.
