Let D be a given set of (string) documents of total length n. The top-k document retrieval problem is to index D such that when a pattern P of length p, and a parameter k come as a query, the index returns those k documents which are most relevant to P . Hon et al. [22] proposed a linear space framework to solve this problem in O(p+k log k) time. This query time was improved to O(p+k) by Navarr...

Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
