The Key Findings Reporter (KEFIR) is a system for discovering and explaining \key ndings" in large, relational databases. This paper describes an application of KEFIR to the analysis of health-care information. The system performs an automatic analysis of data along multiple dimensions to determine the most interesting deviations of speciic quantitative measures relative to norms and previous v...

Although computer and video games have existed for fewer than 40 years, they are already serious business. Entertainment software, the entertainment industry's fastest growing segment, currently generates sales surpassing the film industry's gross revenues. Computer games have significantly affected personal computer sales, providing the initial application for CD-ROMs, driving advancements in ...

Owners of small manufacturing businesses from twelve industrial sectors (n=40) participated in focus groups. They most frequently read trade and local business publications; few regularly read or receive health and safety materials. They select business-related materials that are specific to their business, give them new ideas, or have information that is easy to use. Insurance companies and bu...

We present a fully automated process to scan the Australian Telecom Yellow Pages and produce a text document consisting only of the business entries, while removing the advertisements, graphics, and notes about the Yellow Pages. The system contains four major components: digitisation and thresholding, skew detection, segmentation (removal of unwanted parts of the image), and finally the recogni...

High-level (semantic) image classification can be achieved by analysis of low-level image attributes geared for the particular classes. In this paper, we have proposed a novel application of the known image processing and classification techniques to achieve such a high-level classification of color images. Our image classification algorithm uses three low-level image features: texture, color, ...

This paper introduces a remote visualization approach that enables the visualization of data sets on mobile devices or in web environments. With this approach the necessary computing power can be outsourced to a server environment. The developed system allows the rendering of 2D and 3D graphics on mobile phones or web browsers with high quality independent of the size of the original data set. ...

In recent years, virtual reality technology has become the dominant means of human-computer interaction, with computer graphics rendering being a crucial component in realizing experiences. Rendering is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses various disciplines, including science, mathematics, and physics. Consequently, it faces challenges when comes to designing processors extension instr...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
