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 ...
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 ...
Dynamic two-stage image retrieval from large multimedia databases
(Elsevier, 2013)
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) with global features is notoriously noisy, especially for image queries with low percentages of relevant images in a collection. Moreover, CBIR typically ranks the whole collection, ...
A query scrambler for search privacy on the internet
(Springer Link, 2012-10-09)
We propose a method for search privacy on the Internet, focusing on enhancing plausible deniability against search engine query-logs. The method approximates the target search results, without submitting the intended query ...
A Privacy-by-Design Contextual Suggestion System for Tourism
(MDPI, 2016-05-05)
We focus on personal data generated by the sensors and through the everyday usage of smart devices and take advantage of these data to build a non-invasive contextual suggestion system for tourism. The system, which we ...
Versatile Query Scrambling for Private Web Search
(Springer Link, 2015-05-16)
We consider the problem of privacy leaks suffered by Internet users when they perform web searches, and propose a framework to mitigate them. In brief, given a ‘sensitive’ search query, the objective of our work is to ...
