Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

We use a reduced complexity climate model with a three-dimensional ocean component and realistic topography to investigate the effect of stratificationdependent mixing on the sensitivity of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (SPG), and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), to idealized CO2 increase and peaking scenarios. The vertical diffusivity of the ocean interior is paramete...

This study investigates prevailing restrictions on Internet diffusion through blocking of websites across five categories in diverse country domains. A website block finder (WBF) application is used to provide a snapshot view on Internet filtering imposed through government regulations across ten countries, namely Canada, China, France, Germany, Iran, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE and ...

MPEG-4 supports the definition, encoding, transmission, and animation of 3-D head and body models. These features can be used for a variety of different applications ranging from low bit-rate video coding to character and avatar animation. In this paper, an entire system for the analysis of facial expressions from image sequences and their synthesis is presented. New methods for the estimation ...

There is an increasing growth of customers and regulators requesting enterprises to adopt the ISO 14001 environmental management standard over the last 15 years. Yet, any evidence for consistent environmental, market, and social benefits has been widely debated, which in turn, might be partly linked to the underlying organizational motives for environmental management system adoption. Based on ...
