CoMo: A Compact Composite Moment-Based Descriptor for Image Retrieval
(ACM, 2017-06-19)
Low level features play a vital role in image retrieval. Image moments can effectively represent global information of image content while being invariant under translation, rotation, and scaling. This paper briefly presents ...
Image classification by addition of spatial information based on histograms of orthogonal vectors
(PLOS ONE, 2018-06-08)
The Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) model is widely used for image classification, object recognition and image retrieval problems. In BoVW model, the local features are quantized and 2-D image space is represented in the form ...
Double Mobile sinks Architecture for WSN Data Gathering and Critical Events Detection
(IEEE, 2020-06-17)
Data gathering and critical events detection are two essential functionalities for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). In this paper, we propose double mobile sinks network architecture, where two mobile sink nodes visit the ...
ParkChain: An IoT Parking Service Based on Blockchain
(IEEE, 2019-08-19)
The IoT ecosystem is evolving quickly, developing several applications in different sectors. The majority of these applications use centralized infrastructures something that poses several challenges especially related to ...
"Educational Robotics: Platforms, Competitions and Expected Learning Outcomes"
(IEEE, 2020-12-04)
Motivated by the recent explosion of interest around Educational Robotics (ER), this paper attempts to re-approach this area by suggesting new ways of thinking and exploring the related concepts. The contribution of the ...
Known Unknowns in an Era of Technological and ViralDisruptions—Implications for Theory,Policy, and Practice
(Springer Verlag, 2021-02-10)
Technology is composed of the words “Techne” and “Logos” that refer to the artistic/
creative and the logical/scientific aspects of its dualism. And so inherent this Promethean
concept lie the concepts of the Schumpeterian ...
Randomblocks: A transparent, verifiable blockchain-based system for random numbers
(Old City Publishing, Inc, 2019)
Games-of-chance require high-levels of trust between participants that is often uncertain and difficult to enforce. The unique characteristics introduced by the blockchain technology can be leveraged to inform a verifiable ...
Composite description based on Salient Contours and Color information for CBIR tasks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
This paper introduces a novel image descriptor for content based image retrieval tasks that integrates contour and color information into a compact vector. Loosely inspired by the human visual system and its mechanisms in ...
A distributed, plug-n-play algorithm formulti-robot applications with a priorinon-computable objective functions
(Sage, 2019-05)
This paper presents a distributed algorithm applicable to a wide range of practical multi-robot applications. In such multi-robot applications, the user-defined objectives of the mission can be cast as a general optimization ...
