This paper presents a method that embeds stability-sensitive filter in the temporal matching kernel with explicit feature maps (TE). The added filter improves the robustness of TE to noise for content-based video retrieval. Originally TE embeds temporal information of frame descriptors by using explicit feature mapping in a fixed length video vector by using a temporal invariant match kernel. TE matches...
The subsequence-matching operation applied to motion capture data searches in long motion sequences to locate their parts that are similar to a query example. An effective and efficient implementation of such operation is valuable to increase reusability and findability of expensively recorded data in the past. This demonstration paper builds on recent advances in the field of motion-data processing...
This paper proposes an approach to estimating fungibility between skills given multiple information sources of those skills. An estimate of skill adjacency or fungibility or substitutability is critical for effective capacity planning, analytics and optimization in the face of changing skill requirements of an organization. The proposed approach is based on computing a similarity measure between skills,...
Information technology is increasingly being used in healthcare paramedic sector with the goal to improve management of resources and enhance medical services to save lives. In this paper, we introduce EMTriage, a distributed Android application with the ability to access patients EHR's, and depending on the data and inputs, assess and distribute an acuity level to patients in need of resources. We...
Representing reality in computer graphics requires simulating the appearance of real-world materials. Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDFs) are commonly used to perform this task, as they represent the appearance of a material through the quotient between the reflected radiance and the incoming irradiance at this point. Acquiring the BRDF of a real material is an expensive task...
Development of document processing systems is considered. The direction of transition to the object-associated electronic document management systems is shown. The assessment of correlation of control of processes of relocation of documents and change of objects in the distributed large-scale systems is carried out.
Recently, various objective image quality assessment (IQA) metrics have been proposed for measuring the quality of a captured image. Moreover, IQA databases have been made available to enable researchers develop and test IQA metrics. For instance, the TID2013 database was used in the experiments conducted in this study. It contains many test images obtained from 25 reference images, each having 24...
We present the MASSE architecture, a YARA-based open source client-server malware detection platform. MASSE includes highly effective automated syntactic malware detection rule generation for the clients based on a server-side modular malware detection system. Multiple techniques are used to make MASSE effective at detecting malware while keeping it from disrupting users and hindering reverse-engineering...
The number of dementia patients has increased in recent years. The burden on caregivers has also increased. Nevertheless, no established treatment for dementia exists. Controlling dementia progression is an important goal of dementia treatment. The reminiscence method is one means of suppressing dementia progression. In the reminiscence method, a caregiver talks with a dementia patient. However, an...
At the Charles University, Faculty of Medicine, in Hradec Kralove, the Biophysics and Biostatics subject is implemented as a traditional combination, i.e. contact, educational method and e-learning. The e-learning is realized in the LMS Moodle in the “multicourses” called Biophysics and Biostatics — General Medicine and Biophysics and Biostatics — Dentistry. A process of teaching during the whole...
The research discusses the issue how to describe data quality and what should be taken into account when developing an universal data quality management solution. The proposed approach is to create quality specifications for each kind of data objects and to make them executable. The specification can be executed step-by-step according to business process descriptions, ensuring the gradual accumulation...
Survey is the most common way to gather information for research purposes. Gathering information is usually provided in the early stage of research procedure. The information create the basis for further activities which lead to scientific research results. The problem is that information gathered as a result of survey is exposed to the high risk of errors. Following factors generates mostly errors:...
Contemporary tools aimed at information system (IS) development often use models to generate system implementation. Starting from an IS model, these tools commonly generate database implementation schema as well as code for generic CRUD operations of business applications. On the other hand, at the level of platform-independent models (PIMs) there is a lack of support for specification of more complex...
There is a particular interest and a broad consensus in developing reliable, fast, easy to use and inexpensive specimen identification methods that reduce stress and injuries produced by traditional marking methods. Picture based identification methods use unique natural tags or spots to identify specimens. This works presents some Digital Image Processing techniques for the identification of melanophryniscus...
Some areas in computer science are characterized by a shared base structure for data artifacts (e.g., list, table, tree, graph, model), and dedicated languages for transforming this structure. We observe that in several of these languages it is possible to identify a clear correspondence between some elements in the transformation code and the output they generate. Conversely given an element in an...
The library remote information services of higher educational establishments of America are analysed. The study is based on benchmarking and weights of alternatives methods that allow to identify the group of library leaders in providing quality information services.
It is described the concepts of recommender system and virtual creative team and their characteristics. It is also analyzed the functional features of developed automated system, called “Information assistant of a scientist” that provides information search and storage which is relevant to research topics of creative research team in the field of e-science.
Nowadays, providing a security system for houses has become a vital research in which the latest technologies are being adopted to serve this purpose. Wireless network is one of the technologies that have been used to provide remote monitor and control for the home appliances. This paper aims to propose a security door lock system based on Raspberry pi technology where cameras, keypad and pi-lids...
The purpose of this paper is to assess the cost development for Norwegian sports hall projects, their budgetary goal achievement and underlying reasons for this. Using a mixed method approach, this paper presents research based on a database study, a literature review and a questionnaire-based survey. In addition, approximatively 300 personal phone calls and a corresponding number of emails were used...
The paper presents the results of the research of the clustering algorithm DBSCAN practical implementation within the framework of the objective clustering inductive technology. As experimental, the data Aggregation and Compound of the Computing school of the East Finland University and the gene expression sequences of lung cancer patients of the database ArrayExpres were used. The architecture of...
