Fast Retrieval from Image Databases via Binary Haar Wavelet Transform on the Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor
(IARIA, 2011)
In this paper, we are evaluating several accelerating
techniques for content-based image retrieval, suitable for
the Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD). To date,
the experimental results presented in the ...
Text localization using standard deviation analysis of structure elements and support vector machines
(Springer, 2011)
A text localization technique is required to successfully exploit document images such as technical articles and letters. The proposed method detects and extracts text areas from document images. Initially a connected ...
DUTH at ImageCLEF 2011 Wikipedia Retrieval
(ImageClef, Wikipedia Retrieval Task, 2011)
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 ...
Combining Color and Spatial Color Distribution Information in a Fuzzy Rule Based Compact Composite Descriptor
(Springer, 2011)
In this paper, a novel low level feature for content based image retrieval is presented. The proposed feature structure combines color and spatial color distribution information. The combination of these two features in ...
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 ...
The TREC files: the (ground) truth is out there
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), United States, 2011)
Traditional tools for information retrieval (IR) evaluation, such as
TREC’s trec_eval, have outdated command-line interfaces with
many unused features, or ‘switches’, accumulated over the years.
They are usually seen ...
Content Based Image Retrieval Using Visual-Words Distribution Entropy
(Springer, 2011)
Bag-of-visual-words (BOVW) is a representation of images which is built using a large set of local features. To date, the experimental results presented in the literature have shown that this approach achieves high retrieval ...
Overview of depression: epidemiology and implications for community nursing practice
(Mark Allen Healthcare, 2011)
Depressive disorders are among the most common psychological conditions currently affecting individuals living in the Westernized world. Yet, available data indicate that fewer than one third of adults with depression ...
Gender Discrimination and Nursing: Α Literature Review
(Elsevier, 2011)
This article aims to examine gender stereotypes in relation to men in nursing, discuss gender
discrimination cases in nursing, and explore methods used for promoting equal educational
opportunities during nursing studies. ...
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 ...
