A Web Service to Personalise Map Colouring

Offering geospatial data in the World Wide Web (WWW) has developed rapidly in recent years. Today, a lot of data sources are available, many of which provide data by using a Web Map Service (WMS) as interface which is specified by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

A Novel Approach to Background Subtraction Using Visual Saliency Map

Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...
