What, Where and How? Introducing pose manifolds for industrial object manipulation
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this paper we propose a novel method for object grasping that aims to unify robot vision techniques for 24
efficiently accomplishing the demanding task of autonomous object manipulation. Through ontological 25
concepts, ...
Mobile Elderly Living Community (MELCO): The Development of the Social Community Model: a Case Study
(2013)
Background: Elderly prefer to be in their own homes rather than being in hospital or residential homes.
Communication between elderly and community nurses is essential in caring and mutual interaction and
modern technologies ...
Golden Retriever - A Java Based Open Source Image Retrieval Engine
(ACM, 2013)
Golden Retriever Image Retrieval Engine (GRire) is an open
source light weight Java library developed for Content Based
Image Retrieval (CBIR) tasks, employing the Bag of Visual
Words (BOVW) model. It provides a complete ...
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 ...
Identification and Retrieval of DNA Genomes Using Binary Image Representations Produced by Cellular Automata
(IEEE (Computer Society), 2014)
We have developed a novel method for the identification
and retrieval of DNA sequences which are represented
as binary images. This type of representation emanates from the
evolution of one-dimensional nucleotide arrays ...
Localized Global Descriptors for Image Retrieval: An Extensive Evaluation on Adaptations to the Simple Model
(IEEE (Computer Society), 2016)
SIMPLE (Searching Images with MPEG-7 (& MPEG-7-like) Powered Localized dEscriptors) is a model that proposes the reuse of well-established global descriptors by localizing their description mechanism on image patches located ...
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
global feature representations ...
Video Summarization Using a Self-Growing and Self-Organized Neural Gas Network
(Springer, 2011)
In this paper, a novel method to generate video summaries is proposed,
which is allocated mainly for being applied to on-line videos. The novelty
of this approach lies in the fact that the video summarization problem is ...
Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of immigrants from third countries in Cyprus, on HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health. The implication of nursing ethics to healthcare
(Technological Educational Institute of Athens, 2013)
Background: Cultural, social policy and legal factors contribute to HIV vulnerability amongst ethnic minorities. Insufficient knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention contributes in engaging in risky sexual behaviours ...
Greek-Cypriot mental health nurses’ professional satisfaction and association with mild psychiatric symptoms
(Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Inc., 2013)
The present descriptive correlational study aims to explore among Greek-Cypriot mental health nurses (MHNs) the level of professional satisfaction, potential differences with regard to vocational characteristics, and ...
