Dynamic Two-Stage Image Retrieval from Large Multimodal Databases
(Springer-Verlag, 2011)
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, ...
Fusion vs. Two-Stage for Multimodal Retrieval
(Springer, 2011)
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 ...
Bag-of-visual-words vs global image descriptors on two-stage multimodal retrieval
(ACM SIGIR 2011, 2011)
The Bag-Of-Visual-Words (BOVW) paradigm is fast becoming a
popular image representation for Content-Based Image Retrieval
(CBIR), mainly because of its better retrieval effectiveness over
global feature representations ...
Comparative Performance Evaluation of Image Descriptors Over IEEE 802.11b NoisyWireless Networks
(IEEE (Computer Society), 2011)
Abstract—In this paper we evaluate the image retrieval
procedure over an IEEE 802.11b Ad Hoc network, operating
in 2.4GHz, using IEEE Distributed Coordination Function
CSMA/CA as the multiple access scheme. IEEE 802.11 ...
Video Summarization Using a Self-Growing and Self-Organized Neural Gas Network
(Springer, 2011)
In this paper, a novel method to generate video summaries is proposed,
which is allocated mainly for being applied to on-line videos. The novelty
of this approach lies in the fact that the video summarization problem is ...
The TREC files: the (ground) truth is out there
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), United States, 2011)
Traditional tools for information retrieval (IR) evaluation, such as
TREC’s trec_eval, have outdated command-line interfaces with
many unused features, or ‘switches’, accumulated over the years.
They are usually seen ...
Content Based Image Retrieval Using Visual-Words Distribution Entropy
(Springer, 2011)
Bag-of-visual-words (BOVW) is a representation of images which is built using a large set of local features. To date, the experimental results presented in the literature have shown that this approach achieves high retrieval ...
Inter-Mobility Support in Controlled 6LoWPAN Networks
(IEEE, 2011)
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 ...
WSN Evaluation in Industrial Environments First results and lessons learned
(IEEE, 2011)
The GINSENG project develops performance-controlled wireless sensor networks that can be used for time-critical applications in hostile environments such as industrial plant automation and control. GINSENG aims at integrating ...
Mobility in WSNs for Critical Applications
(IEEE, 2011)
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 ...
