The development of methods to deal with the informative contents of the text units in the matching process is a major challenge in automatic summary evaluation systems that use fixed n-gram matching. The limitation causes inaccurate matching between units in a peer and reference summaries. The present study introduces a new Keyphrase based Summary Evaluator (KpEval) for evaluating automatic sum...

In order to perform object modelling by image processing procedures, line or feature extraction and stereo matching used to perform. However, there are some issues for efficient 3D modelling of objects. In particular, efficient line matching for reconstruction of objects is needed to be resolved. With this objective, a robust line matching method which includes optical flow and trifocal tensor ...

The proliferation of heterogeneous data sources of semantic knowledge base intensifies the need of an automatic instance matching technique. However, the efficiency of instance matching is often influenced by the weight of a property associated to instances. Automatic weight generation is a non-trivial, however an important task in instance matching technique. Therefore, identifying an appropri...

CCD linear array sensors are widely used to acquire panchromatic and multispectral imagery for photogrammetric and remote sensing applications. The processing of this kind of images provides a challenge for algorithmic redesign and this opens the possibility to reconsider and improve many photogrammetric processing components. In addition, the basic capabilities of image matching techniques hav...

Extended Feature Set and Touchless Imaging For Fingerprint Matching By Yi Chen In recent decades, fingerprint matching has undertaken a tremendous transition from a tedious manual procedure for criminal investigation to the most widely deployed biometric technology for government and civilians applications. In this thesis, we address two critical issues related to this transition: i) automatic ...

Internal self-diagnosis and external evaluation of the obtained results are of major importance for the relevance of any automatic system for practical applications. Obviously, this statement is also true for automatic image analysis in photogrammetry and remote sensing. However, so far only relatively little work has been carried out in this area. This is mostly due to the moderate results ach...

Several advanced data management applications, such as data integration, data deduplication or similarity querying rely on the application of similarity functions. A similarity function requires the definition of a threshold value in order to assess if two different data instances match, i.e., if they represent the same real world object. In this context, the threshold definition is a central p...

Complete 3-D modeling of a free-form object requires acquisition from multiple view-points. These views are then required to be registered in a common coordinate system by establishing correspondence between them in their regions of overlap. In this paper, we present an automatic correspondence technique for pair-wise registration of different views of a free-form object. The technique is based...

Reuse is not a new concept in software engineering. Ideas, abstractions, and processes have been reused by programmers since the very early days of software development. In the beginning, since storage media was very expensive, software reuse was basically to serve computers and their mechanical resources, as it substantially conserved memory. When the limitations on physical resources started ...
