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 ...

More and more Internet of Things (IoT) devicesare deployed around the world, due to the convenience andextra functionality they enable. This growth, while great forthe industry as a whole, has ...

Compact composite descriptors (CCDs) are global image features, capturing more than one types of information at the same time in a very compact representation. Their quality has so far been evaluated in retrieval from ...

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 ...

SIMPLE (Searching Images with MPEG-7 (& MPEG-7-like) Powered Localized dEscriptors) is a model that proposes the reuse of well-established global descriptors by localizing their description mechanism on image patches located ...

Recent critical application sectors of sensor networks like military, health care, and industry require the use of mobile sensor nodes, something that poses unique challenges in aspects like handoff delay, packet loss, and ...

We report our experiences from participating to the controlled experiment of the ImageCLEF 2010 Wikipedia Retrieval task. We built an experimental search engine which combines multilingual and multi-image search, employing ...

Within the project NOPTILUS, a fully functional system/methodology had been developed that allows the cooperative, fully-autonomous navigation of teams of AUVs when deployed in Static or Dynamic Underwater Map Construction ...

Biomedical research and clinical decision depend increasingly on a number of authoritative databases, mostly public and continually enriched via peer scientific contributions. Given the dynamic nature of data and their ...

Topic modeling refers to a suite of probabilistic algorithms for extracting word patterns from a collection of documents aiming for data clustering and detection of research trends. We developed an online service that ...

Contemporary healthcare delivery is based on state-of-the-art scientific best practices captured in systematically developed formal care plans which include guidelines, clinical protocols, integrated care pathways, etc. ...

The IoT ecosystem is evolving quickly, developing several applications in different sectors. The majority of these applications use centralized infrastructures something that poses several challenges especially related to ...

One of the most significant problems in the field of image retrieval results from the lack of a common test bed for the evaluation of the systems. So far, many of the methods used in the field of information retrieval ...

Phubbing or the cell phone-induced ostracism is defined as “snubbing someone by being busy oneself with one’s mobile phone and ignore social surroundings”. Thus, “phubber” is the subject, whereas, ‘phubbee’ is the target ...
