Map online system using internet-based image catalogue
Digital maps carry along its geodata information such as coordinate that is important in one particular topographic and thematic map. These geodatas are meaningful especially in military field. Since the maps carry along this information, its makes the size of the images is too big. The bigger size, the bigger storage is required to allocate the image file. It also can cause longer loading time. These conditions make it did not suitable to be applied in image catalogue approach via internet environment. With compression techniques, the image size can be reduced and the quality of the image is still guaranteed without much changes. This report is paying attention to one of the image compression technique using wavelet technology. Wavelet technology is much batter than any other image compression technique nowadays. As a result, the compressed images applied to a system called Map Online that used Internet-based Image Catalogue approach. This system allowed user to buy map online. User also can download the maps that had been bought besides using the searching the map. Map searching is based on several meaningful keywords. As a result, this system is expected to be used by Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM) in order to make the organization vision is implemented
Evolution of the discrete cosine transform using genetic programming
Compression of 2 dimensional data is important for the efficient transmission, storage and manipulation
of Images. The most common technique used for lossy image compression relies on fast application of
the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The cosine transform has been heavily researched and many
efficient methods have been determined and successfully applied in practice; this paper presents a novel
method for evolving a DCT algorithm using genetic programming. We show that it is possible to evolve a
very close approximation to a 4 point transform. In theory, an 8 point transform could also be evolved
using the same technique

Applying supervised classifiers based on non-negative matrix factorization to musical instrument classification
In this paper, a new approach for automatic audio classification using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is presented. Training is performed onto each audio class individually, whilst during the test phase each test recording is projected onto the several training matrices. Experiments demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed approach were performed for musical instrument classification. Several perceptual features as well as MPEG-7 descriptors were measured for 300 sound recordings consisting of 6 different musical instrument classes. Subsets of the feature set were selected using branch-and-bound search, in order to obtain the most discriminating features for classification. Several NMF techniques were utilized, namely the standard NMF method, the local NMF, and the sparse NMF. The experiments demonstrate an almost perfect classification (classification error 1.0%), outperforming the state-of-the-art techniques tested for the aforementioned experiment
Discrete Elastic Inner Vector Spaces with Application in Time Series and Sequence Mining
This paper proposes a framework dedicated to the construction of what we call
discrete elastic inner product allowing one to embed sets of non-uniformly
sampled multivariate time series or sequences of varying lengths into inner
product space structures. This framework is based on a recursive definition
that covers the case of multiple embedded time elastic dimensions. We prove
that such inner products exist in our general framework and show how a simple
instance of this inner product class operates on some prospective applications,
while generalizing the Euclidean inner product. Classification experimentations
on time series and symbolic sequences datasets demonstrate the benefits that we
can expect by embedding time series or sequences into elastic inner spaces
rather than into classical Euclidean spaces. These experiments show good
accuracy when compared to the euclidean distance or even dynamic programming
algorithms while maintaining a linear algorithmic complexity at exploitation
stage, although a quadratic indexing phase beforehand is required.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1101.431
The Early Bird Catches The Term: Combining Twitter and News Data For Event Detection and Situational Awareness
Twitter updates now represent an enormous stream of information originating
from a wide variety of formal and informal sources, much of which is relevant
to real-world events. In this paper we adapt existing bio-surveillance
algorithms to detect localised spikes in Twitter activity corresponding to real
events with a high level of confidence. We then develop a methodology to
automatically summarise these events, both by providing the tweets which fully
describe the event and by linking to highly relevant news articles. We apply
our methods to outbreaks of illness and events strongly affecting sentiment. In
both case studies we are able to detect events verifiable by third party
sources and produce high quality summaries
