Plant automation and control are mission-critical applications and require timely and reliable data delivery, which is difficult to provide using a wireless technology. This is especially more difficult in industrial ...

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, ...

Online gambling, unlike other mediums of problem-atic and addictive behaviours, such as tobacco and alcohol, offers unprecedented opportunities for building information systems that are able to monitor and understand a ...

We propose a method for search privacy on the Internet, focusing onenhancing plausible deniability against search engine query-logs. The method ap-proximates the target search results, without submitting the intended query ...

Personalizing healthcare applications requires capturing patient specific information, including medical history, health status, and mental aspects such as behaviors, intentions, and attitudes. This paper presents a ...

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 ...

We compare two methods for retrieval from multimodal collections. The first is a score-based fusion of results, retrieved visually and textually. The second is a two-stage method that visually re-ranks the top-K results ...

This paper focuses on the optimization of the line-tracking and following control technique used in high speed autonomous movable IoT devices such as line-following robotic vehicles. A fusion of a new pro-active / feed-forward ...

Biosignals recorded using personal health devices and stored in General Data Format (GDF) are vulnerable when the data is transferred, processed and stored to the external servers. The aforementioned vulnerabilities influence ...

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 ...

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 ...

The COVID-19 pandemic is stress-testing existing health information exchange systems. There exists an increasing demand for sharing patient information and efficiently responding to patient medial data requests. Current ...

Android devices contain a vast amount of personal data of their owners. These data are stored on the device and are protected by the Android permission scheme. Android apps can obtain access to specific data items by ...

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 ...

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 ...

img(Anaktisi) is a C#/.NET content base image retrieval application suitable for the web. It provides efficient retrieval services for various image databases using as a query a sample image, an image sketched by the ...

This paper presents an image retrieval suite called img(Rummager) which brings into effect a number of new as well as state of the art descriptors. The application can execute an image search based on a query image, either ...

The assessment of risk in medicine is a crucial task, and depends on scientific knowledge derived by systematic clinical studies on factors affecting health, as well as on particular knowledge about the current status of ...

The research and industrial community started to think of more complex application scenarios for wireless sensor networks, where the use of mobile sensor nodes is essential. The support of mobile sensor nodes in such ...

Everyday the following question is posed: Are businesses more successful when they adapt green strategies in producing and marketing their products?. To address this issue, we should investigate to what determines the ...
