Study of the baking of biscuits involves among other aspects detailed analysis of colour changes in the product during the process. Previous study has shown the existence of a colour development curve (known as the baking curve) by examining colour development in the RGB and HSI colour spaces. In the current work a diierent approach to extracting the baking curve is presented. Using a Kohonen s...

Several features can be extracted from a texture to represent it as a point in a high dimensional space. In this paper we advocate the use of perceptually relevant features in order to obtain a space that appeals to the intuition of a human observer. To show the feasibility of our proposal in this paper we detail the construction of a two-dimensional perceptual space based on local directionali...

Organizing hematomas occur in many locations and simulate neoplasms. They all have similar structure, with a central mass of blood, a wall of granulation tissue, and dense, fibrous tissue at the periphery. There have been sporadic reports of organizing hematoma not only in soft tissue but also in brain, adrenal gland, lung and maxillary sinus. We report a case of nontraumatic head and neck orga...

This paper introduces a new concept to the processing of graph structured information using self organising map framework. Previous approaches to this problem were limited to the processing of bounded graphs. The computational complexity of such methods grows rapidly with the level of connectivity, and are restricted to the processing of positional graphs. The concept proposed in this paper add...

The human voice is a powerful instrument for producing sound sketches. The sonic space that can be spanned with the voice is vast and complex and, therefore, it is difficult to organize and explore. In this contribution, we report on our attempts at extracting the principal components from a database of 152 short excerpts of vocal imitations. We describe each excerpt by a set of statistical aud...

Flexible societies require flexible environments. Due to economical, ecological and social reasons it can be more efficient taking advantage of existing architecture rather than creating new buildings. A Web based information system is proposed which can support the distribution of information for ‘temporal available space’ for providers and users. Potential providers are able to store their sp...
