Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, we propose a Phase Fourier Reconstruction (PFR) approach for anomaly detection on metal surfaces using salient irregularities. To get salient irregularity with images captured from an automatic ...
Article
The main challenge of a search engine is to find information that are relevant and appropriate. However, this can become difficult when queries are issued using ambiguous words. Rijsbergen first hypothesized a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Query suggestion is an assistive technology mechanism commonly used in search engines to enable a user to formulate their search queries by predicting or completing the next few query words that the user is li...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Image-to-Class (I2C) distance has demonstrated its effectiveness for object recognition in several single-label datasets. However, for the multi-label problem, where an image may contain several regions belong...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Salient region detection in images is a challenging task, despite its usefulness in many applications. By modeling an image as a collection of clusters, we design a unified clustering framework for salient reg...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Discovering class-specific informative regions for a given concept with a few images is an interesting but very challenging task, due to occlusion, scale changes of objects, as well as different views under va...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Image-To-Class (I2C) distance is first used in Naive-Bayes Nearest-Neighbor (NBNN) classifier for image classification and has successfully handled datasets with large intra-class variances. However, the perfo...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recent research has shown the effectiveness of using sparse coding(Sc) to solve many computer vision problems. Motivated by the fact that kernel trick can capture the nonlinear similarity of features, which ma...
Article
In this paper we present an enhanced multi-modality ontology-based approach for web image retrieval step by step. Several ontology-based approaches have been made in the field of multimedia retrieval. Our mult...
Article
Gossip-based algorithms for information dissemination have recently received significant attention for sensor and ad hoc network applications because of their simplicity and robustness. However, a common drawb...
Article
Ontologies represent domain concepts and relations in a form of semantic network. Many research works use ontologies in the information matchmaking and retrieval. This trend is further accelerated by the conve...
Chapter and Conference Paper
One of the key challenges in human action recognition from video sequences is how to model an action sufficiently. Therefore, in this paper we propose a novel motion-based representation called Motion Context (MC...
Article
As the amount of multimedia data is increasing day-by-day thanks to cheaper storage devices and increasing number of information sources, the machine learning algorithms are faced with large-sized datasets. Wh...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Over the years, multimedia applications are getting increasingly more complex and large in scale. Multimedia Web Service is identified as one of the possible solutions to meet the challenges. The advantages of...
Chapter and Conference Paper
There has been recent work done in the area of search result organization for image retrieval. The main aim is to cluster the search results into semantically meaningful groups. A number of works benefited fro...
Article
The MPEG-7 standard is a step towards standardizing the description of multimedia content so that quick and efficient identification of relevant content can be facilitated, together with efficient management o...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recently, several approaches that mine frequent XML query patterns and cache their results have been proposed to improve query response time. However, frequent XML query patterns mined by these approaches igno...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, we address the problem of image retrieval when the query is in the form of scaled and rotated regions of images in the database. The solution lies in identifying points that are invariant to sca...
