Comparative Performance Evaluation of Image Descriptors Over IEEE 802.11b NoisyWireless Networks
(IEEE (Computer Society), 2011)
Abstract—In this paper we evaluate the image retrieval
procedure over an IEEE 802.11b Ad Hoc network, operating
in 2.4GHz, using IEEE Distributed Coordination Function
CSMA/CA as the multiple access scheme. IEEE 802.11 ...
Bag-of-visual-words vs global image descriptors on two-stage multimodal retrieval
(ACM SIGIR 2011, 2011)
The Bag-Of-Visual-Words (BOVW) paradigm is fast becoming a
popular image representation for Content-Based Image Retrieval
(CBIR), mainly because of its better retrieval effectiveness over

As digital information is increasingly becoming multimodal, the days of single-language
text-only retrieval are numbered. Take as an example Wikipedia where a single topic
may be covered in several languages and include ...
S-GinMob: Soft-Handoff Solution for Mobile Users in Industrial Environments
(IEEE, 2011)
In current research studies and testbed deployments of sensor networks, individual sensor nodes are usually assumed to be static. However, recent applications require mobile sensor nodes, something that poses unique ...
