The World Tourism Organization suggests that more than 40% of all international tourists are ‘cultural tourists’ (Richards, 1996). The Travel Industry Association of Ame...

An Approach towards Improved Hyperspectral Image Denoising

Amount of noise included in a hyperspectral image limits its application and has a negative impact on hyperspectral image classification, unmixing, target detection, and so on. The data that are contaminated with noise can cause a failure to extract valuable information and hamper further interpretation. The presence of noise in the image, extraction of all the useful information becomes diffic...

An Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach

Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
