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 ...

Τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του μητροπολίτη Ναυπάκτου 'Ιωάννου Άποκαυκου καλύπτονται από ένα πέπλο που σκεπάζει αμφιβολίες και αβεβαιότητες σε τέτοιο βαθμό,, ωστε να μην εχει ξεκαθαριστεϊ πληρως, ως σημερα ακόμη, το ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper deals with a new low level feature that is extracted from the images and can be used for indexing and retrieval. This feature is called “Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor” and incorporates color and texture ...

We present a personal data management framework called Polis, which abides by the following principle: Every individual has absolute control over her personal data, which reside only at her own side. Preliminary results ...

Compact Composite Descriptors (CCD) are global image features capturing both, color and texture characteristics, at the same time in a very compact representation. In this paper we propose a combination of two recently ...

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 ...

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 ...

The rapid advances made in the field of radiology, the increased frequency in which oncological diseases appear, as well as the demand for prevailing medical checks, led to the creation of a large database of radiology ...

In this paper, a new platform, called Quantum, for distributed computations among independent agents, is presented. Quantum is capable to operate on infrastructures that are formed by massive numbers of agents communicating ...

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 ...

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 ...

We introduce an experimental search engine for multilin- gual and multimedia information, employing a holistic web interface and enabling the use of highly distributed indices. Modalities are searched in parallel, and ...

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 ...

In this paper, a new low level feature suitable for Hand Drawn Color Sketches retrieval is presented. The proposed feature structure combines color and spatial color distribution information. The combination of these two ...

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 ...

In this paper, a new accelerating technique for content-based image retrieval is proposed, suitable for the Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor (CEDD). To date, the experimental results presented in the literature ...

Capable tools are needed in order to successfully search and retrieve a suitable image from large image collections. Many content-based image retrieval systems employ low-level image features such as color, texture and ...
