Image classification is a very challenging and important problem in the image management and retrieval system. The traditional methods are not effective to the image classification due to the high dimensionality of the image feature space. This paper proposes a method of image classification over a given data set using subset feature set and morphological profile. On the basis of subset feature...

The paper presents a new framework for discrimination of Latin and Italian languages. The first phase maps the text in the given language into a uniformly coded text. It is based on the position of each letter of the script in the text line and its height, derived from its energy profile. The second phase extracts run-length texture measures from the coded text given as 1-D image, by producing ...

Directive COM (2008) 19 gives individual targets in emission reduction and renewable energy share to the member states of the European Union [1]. Germany has to reduce its green house gas emissions by 14% until the year 2020 related to the reference year 2005 and the share of renewable in the final energy demand should reach 18%. In the sector of electrical energy – which is the main topic of t...

A new scheme named personalized image retrieval technique based on visual perception is proposed in this letter, whose motive is to narrow the semantic gap by directly perceiving user’s visual information. It uses visual attention model to segment image regions and eye-tracking technique to record fixations. Visual perception is obtained by analyzing the fixations in regions to measure gaze int...

The Photo CD system, originally aimed at consumers, has also been used by cultural institutions to store digital images from scanned photographic film, prints, and documents. With improvements in technology and anticipated adoption of new digital image standards, e.g., JPEG 2000, retention of image fidelity during migration of digital collections is often a concern. In a previous report (Archiv...

Abstract. The choice of natural image prior decides the quality of restored image. Recently successful algorithms exploit heavy-tailed gradient distribution as image prior to restore latent image with piecewise smooth regions. However, these prior assumed also remove the mid-frequency component such as textural details regions while they preserve sharp edges. That because gradient profile in fr...

The transverse current profile in the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) electron beam can be monitored at several locations along the beam line by means of profile monitors. These consist of insertable phosphor screens, light collection and transport systems, CID cameras, a frame-grabber, and PC and VAX based image analysis software. In addition to their usefulness in tuning and ste...

This paper describes the work achieved by the MRIM research group of Grenoble, using some data from the LaHC of SaintÉtienne, in a way to test personalized retrieval of books for the Social Book Search Lab of CLEF 2015. Our proposal rely on a biased fusion of content-only retrieval, using BM25F and LGD retrieval models, user non-social profile based on the catalog of the requester, and social p...

The visualization of images, both photographic and infographic, is a process that depends on a series of features that define the user (user profile: age, sex, experience), the visual message (type of image, resolution, quality), and the display (size, resolution, type of screen). When we can determine how the tree features relate, the communicative messages based on visual aspects will be more...
