Spatially Optimized Data-Level Fusion of Texture and Shape for Face Recognition Abstract?Data-level fusion is believed to have the potential for enhancing human face recognition. However, due to a number of challenges, current techniques have failed to achieve its full potential. We propose spatially optimized data/pixel-level fusion of 3-D shape and texture for face recognition….
Superpixel Classification Based Optic Disc and Optic Cup Segmentation for Glaucoma Screening Abstract? Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to vision loss. As it cannot be cured, detecting the disease in time is important. Current tests using intraocular pressure (IOP) are not sensitive enough for population based glaucoma screening. Optic nerve head…
Supervised Spatio-Temporal Neighborhood Topology Learning for Action Recognition Abstract? Supervised manifold learning has been successfully applied to action recognition, in which class label information could improve the recognition performance. However, the learned manifold may not be able to well preserve both the local structure and global constraint of temporal labels in action sequences.< Final…
Supporting Flexible, Efficient, and User-Interpretable Retrieval of Similar Time Series Abstract? Supporting decision making in domains in which the observed phenomenon dynamics have to be dealt with, can greatly benefit of retrieval of past cases, provided that proper representation and retrieval techniques are implemented. In particular,< Final Year Project > when the parameters of interest…
TACI: Taxonomy-Aware Catalog Integration Abstract? A fundamental data integration task faced by online commercial portals and commerce search engines is the integration of products coming from multiple providers to their product catalogs. In this scenario, the commercial portal has its own taxonomy (the ?master taxonomy?), while each data provider organizes its products into a…
Tag Completion for Image Retrieval Abstract?Many social image search engines are based on keyword/tag matching. This is because tag-based image retrieval (TBIR) is not only efficient but also effective. The performance of TBIR is highly dependent on the availability and quality of manual tags. Recent studies have shown that manual tags are often unreliable…
tamil ontology Abstract?Ontology plays a vital role in teaching and learning. In the last decade most of the learning sites were trying to adopt semantic web techniques to develop the learning materials.< Final Year Projects > It is easy to visualize the concepts that are developed in ontology in an effective manner. In this…
Technical Data Management Systems On Large Building Construction Projects Abstract? Our proposed solution is to enable partners of a consfruction project to share all the technical data produced and handled, during the building production process by building an information system through the use of internet technology. The system links distributed databases and allows building partners…
Texture Classification Using Rotation- and Scale-Invariant Gabor Texture Features Abstract? This letter introduces a novel approach to rotation and scale invariant texture classification. The proposed approach is based on Gabor filters that have the capability to collapse the filter responses according to the scale and orientation of the textures. These characteristics are exploited to…
Texture Enhanced Histogram Equalization Using TV-L1 Image Decomposition Abstract?Histogram transformation defines a class of image processing operations that are widely applied in the implementation of data normalization algorithms. In this paper, we present a new variational approach for image enhancement that is constructed to alleviate the intensity saturation effects that are introduced by standard contrast…
The Move-Split-Merge Metric for Time Series Abstract?The Move-Split-Merge Metric for Time Series.A novel metric for time series, called Move-Split-Merge (MSM), is proposed. This metric uses as building blocks three fundamental operations: Move, Split, and Merge, which can be applied in sequence to transform any time series into any other time series. A Move operation…
The Small World of File Sharing. Web caches, content distribution networks, peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, distributed file systems, and data grids all have in common that they involve a community of users who use shared data. In each case, overall system performance can be improved significantly by first identifying and then exploiting the structure of community’s…
