In this paper, we explore, extend and simplify the localization of the description ability of the well-established MPEG-7 (Scalable Colour Descriptor (SCD), Colour Layout Descriptor (CLD) and Edge Histogram Descriptor ...

This paper deals with the problem of autonomous exploration of unknown areas using teams of Autonomous X Vehicles (AXVs)—with X standing for Aerial, Underwater or Sea-surface—where the AXVs have to autonomously navigate ...

With the recent evolution of technology, the number of image archives has increased exponentially. In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), high-level visual information is represented in the form of low-level features. ...

This paper deals with the path planning problem of a team of mobile robots, in order to cover an area of interest, with prior-defined obstacles. For the single robot case, also known as single robot coverage path planning ...

In this paper, a novel visual Place Recognition approach is evaluated based on a visual vocabulary of the Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD) to address the loop closure detection task. Even though CEDD was initially ...

Remote pest population monitoring is of major importance within the context of precision agriculture. Information acquired from the field has been proved essential for proper decision making and pest management against ...

The rapid advances made in the field of radiology, the increased frequency in which oncological diseases appear, as well as the demand for prevailing medical checks, led to the creation of a large database of radiology ...

LIRe (Lucene Image Retrieval) is a light weight open source Java library for content based image retrieval. It provides common and state of the art global image features and offers means for indexing and retrieval. Due ...

This paper deals with a new low level feature that is extracted from the images and can be used for indexing and retrieval. This feature is called “Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor” and incorporates color and texture ...

This paper deals with the extraction of a new low level feature that combines, in one histogram, color and texture information. This feature is named FCTH - Fuzzy Color and Texture Histogram - and results from the combination ...

This paper proposes a new image retrieval system, thatuses only color features and it's based on a hybrid scheme which combines crisp and fuzzy techniques, in order to retrieve color based similar images. The system ...

Τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του μητροπολίτη Ναυπάκτου 'Ιωάννου Άποκαυκου καλύπτονται από ένα πέπλο που σκεπάζει αμφιβολίες και αβεβαιότητες σε τέτοιο βαθμό,, ωστε να μην εχει ξεκαθαριστεϊ πληρως, ως σημερα ακόμη, το ...

Οι Τρεις Ιεράρχες που καθιερώθηκαν δικαίως στη νεώτερη ιστορία του Ελληνικού Έθνους ως οι προστάτες και στυλοβάτες της ελληνικής παιδείας αποτελούν για όλους μας, εκπαιδευτικούς και εκπαιδευομένους, πηγή εμπνεύσεως και ...

This paper is concerned with formal derivation of generalized setting (excitation) equations of the flip-flop memory elements of a sequential machine. The equations are expressed in terms of four normalized transition ...

This note is concerned with the design of fast totally self-checking checkers for m-out-of-(2m ± 1) codes. The new method uses only three levels of gates, and is based on the partitioning of the input lines into m blocks ...

Historic research involves finding, using, and correlating information within primary and secondary sources, in order to communicate an understanding of past events. In this process, historians employ their scientific ...

The testability of modified Booth multipliers is examined with respect to the cell fault model, an implementation-independent fault model. This is especially useful in design environments where the cell realisations are ...

This paper gives an overview of the APIM (Aristotle Parallel Inference Machine) research project, which aims to the design of a new multiprocessor architecture for the parallel execution of logic programs. The APIM system ...

To ensure that central counterparties (“CCPs”) are safe in all market conditions the European Union (EU) has adopted legislation, commonly known as the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (“EMIR”) that deal with their ...

Linked Data (LD) provides principles for publishing data that underpin the development of an emerging web of data. LD follows the web in providing low barriers to entry: publishers can make their data available using a ...
