In this study Jaccard Distance was performed by measuring the asymmetric information on binary variable and the comparison between vectors component. It compared two objects and notified the degree of similarity of these objects. After thorough preprocessing tasks; like translation, rotation, invariance scale content and noise resistance done onto the hand sketch object, Jaccard distance still ...

Military course-of-action (COA) diagrams are used to depict battle scenarios and include thousands of unique symbols, complete with additional textual and designator modifiers. We have created a real-time sketch recognition interface that recognizes 485 freely-drawn military course-of-action symbols. When the variations (not allowable by other systems) are factored in, our system is several ord...

In this paper a novel multi-stroke sketch recognition method is presented. This method integrates the stroke segmentation and sketch recognition into a single approach, in which both stroke segmentation and sketch recognition are uniformed as a problem of “fitting to a template” with a minimal fitting error, and a nesting Dynamic Programming algorithm is designed to accelerate the optimizing ap...

This study examines whether Mapping Principles, which govern how concrete concepts in a source domain are mapped to abstract concepts in a target domain, are realized in large-scale corpus data. In particular, we propose a frequency-based collocational approach to determine mapping principles based on the most productive mapping. In addition, in contrast to the target-domain-oriented method use...

Sketch recognition systems are currently being developed for many domains, but can be time consuming to build if they are to handle the intricacies of each domain. This paper presents the first translator that takes symbolic shape descriptions (written in the LADDER sketch language) and automatically transforms them into shape recognizers, editing recognizers, and shape exhibitors for use in co...

We describe the process of creating a parallel corpus from Czech and English Wikipedias using methods which are language independent. The corpus consists of Czech and English Wikipedia articles, the Czech ones being translations of the English ones, is aligned on sentence level and is accessible in Sketch Engine corpus manager.1

In image database applications, it is desirable that functions such as searching, browsing, and partial recall be done without totally decompressing the images. Using wavelet-compressed images is becoming increasingly popular. Image databases, and edge images derived from such compressed images can be viewed as indexes that can be queried by examples. In this research, a fractional code generat...

In this paper, we propose a novel interface for controlling crowd animation. Crowd animation is widely used in movie production and computer games. However, to make an intended crowd animation, a lot of agent model parameters have to be tuned through trial and error. Our method estimates crowd parameters based on a few example paths given by a user through a sketch-based interface. The paramete...
