Ptolemaic Indexing
This paper discusses a new family of bounds for use in similarity search,
related to those used in metric indexing, but based on Ptolemy's inequality,
rather than the metric axioms. Ptolemy's inequality holds for the well-known
Euclidean distance, but is also shown here to hold for quadratic form metrics
in general, with Mahalanobis distance as an important special case. The
inequality is examined empirically on both synthetic and real-world data sets
and is also found to hold approximately, with a very low degree of error, for
important distances such as the angular pseudometric and several Lp norms.
Indexing experiments demonstrate a highly increased filtering power compared to
existing, triangular methods. It is also shown that combining the Ptolemaic and
triangular filtering can lead to better results than using either approach on
its own
Penyelenggaraan struktur penahan cerun rock shed: langkah mitigasi runtuhan tanah di Simpang Pulai - Blue Valley, Perak
Industri pembinaan merupakan industri yang sangat mencabar bukan sahaja di Malaysia malah di seluruh dunia yang merangkumi skop 3D dirty, difficult and dangerous. Industri ini juga meruapakan antara penyumbang terbesar KDNK iaitu sebanyak 7.4 peratus pada tahun 2016, walaupun industri ini antara penyumbang terbesar dari aspek keselamatan iaitu kemalangan (CIDB, 2017). Justeru itu, pihak yang bertanggungjawab seharusnya memandang serius mengenai masalah-masalah yang dihadapi supaya industri ini mampu bersaing di peringkat antarabangsa
An information-driven framework for image mining
[Abstract]: Image mining systems that can automatically extract semantically meaningful information (knowledge) from image data are increasingly in demand. The fundamental challenge in image mining is to determine how low-level, pixel representation contained in a raw image or
image sequence can be processed to identify high-level spatial objects and relationships. To meet
this challenge, we propose an efficient information-driven framework for image mining. We distinguish four levels of information: the Pixel Level, the Object Level, the Semantic Concept Level, and the Pattern and Knowledge Level. High-dimensional indexing schemes and retrieval
techniques are also included in the framework to support the flow of information among the levels. We believe this framework represents the first step towards capturing the different levels of information present in image data and addressing the issues and challenges of discovering useful
patterns/knowledge from each level
VITALAS at TRECVID-2008
In this paper, we present our experiments in TRECVID 2008 about High-Level feature extraction task. This is the first year for our participation in TRECVID, our system adopts some popular approaches that other workgroups proposed before. We proposed 2 advanced low-level features NEW Gabor texture descriptor and the Compact-SIFT Codeword histogram. Our system applied well-known LIBSVM to train the SVM classifier for the basic classifier. In fusion step, some methods were employed such as the Voting, SVM-base, HCRF and Bootstrap Average AdaBoost(BAAB)
