Hybrid Cellular Ants for Clustering Problems
(Old City Publishing, 2014)In the last decade the amount of the stored data related to almost all areas of life has rapidly increased. However, the overall process of discovering knowledge from data demands more powerful clustering techniques to ...
-
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 ...
-
Image Encryption using the Recursive Attributes of the eXclusive-OR Filter
(Springer, 2014)This paper describes a visual multimedia content encryption approach based on cellular automata (CA), expanding the work proposed in [4]. The presented algorithm relies on an attribute of the eXclusive-OR (XOR) filter, ...
-
Image Moment Invariants as Local Features for Content Based Image Retrieval using the Bag-of-Visual-Words Model
(Elsevier, 2015)This paper presents an image retrieval framework that uses affine image moment invariants as descriptors of local image areas. Detailed feature vectors are generated by feeding the produced moments into a Bag-of-Visual-Words ...
-
Integrated visualisation of wearable sensor data and risk models for individualised health monitoring and risk assessment to promote patient empowerment
(Springer Link, 2017-05)Patient empowerment delivers health and social care services that enable people to gain more control of their healthcare needs. With the advancement of sensor technologies, it is increasingly possible to monitor people’s ...
-
Investigating the Behavior of Compact Composite Descriptors in Early Fusion, Late Fusion and Distributed Image Retrieval
(2010)In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems, the visual content of the images is mapped into a new space named the feature space. The features that are chosen must be discriminative and sufficient for the description ...
-
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 ...

Linear-testable and C-testable Nx~x Ny~ modified Booth multipliers
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 1996)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 ...
-
Localizing global descriptors for content-based image retrieval
(Springer, 2015)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 ...
-
A LoCATe‐based visual place recognition system for mobile robotics and GPGPUs
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-05)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 ...
-
Mean Normalized Retrieval Order (MNRO): a new content-based image retrieval performance measure
(Springer, 2014)The results of a content based image retrieval system can be evaluated by several performance measures, each one employing different evaluation criteria. Many of the methods used in the field of information retrieval have ...
