Saliency Detection via Divergence Analysis: A Unified Perspective ICPR 2012Jia-Bin Huang
A number of bottom-up saliency detection algorithms have been proposed in the literature. Since these have been developed from intuition and principles inspired by psychophysical studies of human vision, the theoretical relations among them are unclear. In this paper, we present a unifying perspective. Saliency of an image area is defined in terms of divergence between certain feature distributions estimated from the
central part and its surround. We show that various, seemingly different saliency estimation algorithms are in fact closely related. We also discuss some commonly
used center-surround selection strategies. Experiments with two datasets are presented to quantify the relative advantages of these algorithms.

The document summarizes a seminar presentation on improving nearest neighbor methods by addressing the hubness phenomenon. The presentation discussed how hubness, where some objects are frequently the nearest neighbors of many queries, is a problem for nearest neighbor classification and zero-shot learning. It proposed reversing the mapping direction in zero-shot learning, from mapping examples to labels to mapping labels to examples, to reduce the variance of label distributions and suppress the emergence of hubs. Experimental results on image labeling and bilingual lexicon extraction tasks showed the proposed method reduced hubness and improved prediction accuracy over current and CCA-based approaches. The presentation then discussed applying the concept of reducing variance to improve k-nearest neighbor classification.

This document describes Canscape, a canvas-based presentation tool developed using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and JavaScript. Unlike traditional slide-based tools, Canscape allows presenting information on a large canvas without page boundaries. It utilizes open standards like SVG and is platform agnostic, requiring only a web browser to view and edit presentations. Key features include panning, zooming, rotating elements, and adding callouts to "hot spots". The tool aims to improve upon issues with slide-based tools and allow for a more flexible presentation flow.
This document presents an effective image retrieval system using dot-diffused block truncation coding (DDBTC) features. It discusses two main methods of image retrieval: text-based and content-based. Content-based retrieval analyzes images based on color, texture, or form but requires long processing times. The document then describes DDBTC, which divides color images into blocks, computes quantizers for each block, and generates a bitmap image. This approach reduces processing time for image encoding and retrieval compared to other methods. Experimental results showed the DDBTC features provided an effective image retrieval system for large image databases.

Master Thesis: The Design of a Rich Internet Application for Exploratory Sear...Roman Atachiants
Users who cannot formulate a precise query but know there must be a good answer somewhere, often rely on exploratory search. This requires an interactive and responsive system, or else the user will soon give up. As data bases are becoming larger, more specialized, and more distributed this calls for a Rich Internet Application, fast enough to keep pace with the users explorations. This thesis studies and implements a system, called MultiMap, which computes similarity maps in real-time. This entailed: (1) precomputing every data structure that does not change after the initial query, (2) optimizing algorithms for zooming and map generation (3) and providing a cognitively appropriate visualization of high dimensional space. Applied to a very large movie database, it resulted in a highly responsive, satisfying, usable system.

Finally, it presents tools for refining, manipulating, and integrating spatial and temporal data in exhibits and digital projects.
Slides for the iDB summer school (Sapporo, Japan) http://db-event.jpn.org/idb2013/
Typically, Web mining approaches have focused on enhancing or learning about user seeking behavior, from query log analysis and click through usage, employing the web graph structure for ranking to detecting spam or web page duplicates. Lately, there's a trend on mining web content semantics and dynamics in order to enhance search capabilities by either providing direct answers to users or allowing for advanced interfaces or capabilities. In this tutorial we will look into different ways of mining textual information from Web archives, with a particular focus on how to extract and disambiguate entities, and how to put them in use in various search scenarios. Further, we will discuss how web dynamics affects information access and how to exploit them in a search context.

Towards an Agile approach to building application profilesPaul Walk
The document discusses taking an Agile approach to developing application profiles. It involves bringing potential users into the process early through techniques like prototyping and user testing. The goal is to iteratively develop application profiles based on evidence from user engagement to complement the Singapore Framework. By testing and receiving feedback early, costly mistakes can be avoided and user requirements can evolve with changing needs. Tools like MrVobi support collecting user input through activities like free listing, card sorting, and storyboarding to develop a shared understanding and iteratively refine domain models and functional requirements.
Facets and Pivoting for Flexible and Usable Linked Data ExplorationRoberto García
The success of Open Data initiatives has increased the amount of data available on the Web. Unfortunately, most of this data is only available in raw tabular form, what makes analysis and reuse quite difficult for non-experts. Linked Data principles allow for a more sophisticated approach by making explicit both the structure and semantics of the data. However, from the end-user viewpoint, they continue to be monolithic files completely opaque or difficult to explore by making tedious semantic queries. Our objective is to facilitate the user to grasp what kind of entities are in the dataset, how they are interrelated, which are their main properties and values, etc. Rhizomer is a tool for data publishing whose interface provides a set of components borrowed from Information Architecture (IA) that facilitate awareness of the dataset at hand. It automatically generates navigation menus and facets based on the kinds of things in the dataset and how they are described through metadata properties and values. Moreover, motivated by recent tests with end-users, it also provides the possibility to pivot among the faceted views created for each class of resources in the dataset.

Properties of Fluids, Fluid Statics, Pressure MeasurementIndrajeet sahu
Properties of Fluids: Density, viscosity, surface tension, compressibility, and specific gravity define fluid behavior.
Fluid Statics: Studies pressure, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, and fluid forces on surfaces.
Pressure at a Point: In a static fluid, the pressure at any point is the same in all directions. This is known as Pascal's principle. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid above.
Hydrostatic Pressure: The pressure exerted by a fluid at rest due to the force of gravity. It can be calculated using the formula P=ρghP=ρgh, where PP is the pressure, ρρ is the fluid density, gg is the acceleration due to gravity, and hh is the height of the fluid column above the point in question.
Buoyancy: The upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or partially submerged object. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, as described by Archimedes' principle. Buoyancy explains why objects float or sink in fluids.
Fluid Pressure on Surfaces: The analysis of pressure forces on surfaces submerged in fluids. This includes calculating the total force and the center of pressure, which is the point where the resultant pressure force acts.
Pressure Measurement: Manometers, barometers, pressure gauges, and differential pressure transducers measure fluid pressure.
Open Channel Flow: fluid flow with a free surfaceIndrajeet sahu
Open Channel Flow: This topic focuses on fluid flow with a free surface, such as in rivers, canals, and drainage ditches. Key concepts include the classification of flow types (steady vs. unsteady, uniform vs. non-uniform), hydraulic radius, flow resistance, Manning's equation, critical flow conditions, and energy and momentum principles. It also covers flow measurement techniques, gradually varied flow analysis, and the design of open channels. Understanding these principles is vital for effective water resource management and engineering applications.
A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

Compression
• In practice images are stored as compressed
raster
– Jpeg
– Mpeg
• Cf Vector …
• Not Relevant to retrieval
13. 13
Image Processing for Retrieval
• Representing the Images
– Segmentation
– Low Level Features
• Colour
• Texture
• Shape
14. 14
Image Features
• Information about colour or texture or shape
which are extracted from an image are
known as image features
– Also a low-level features
• Red, sandy
– As opposed to high level features or concepts
• Beaches, mountains, happy, serene, George Bush
15. 15
Image Segmentation
• Do we consider the whole image or just part
?
– Whole image - global features
– Parts of image - local features
16. 16
Global features
• Averages across whole image
Tends to loose distinction between foreground
and background
Poorly reflects human understanding of images
Computationally simple
A number of successful systems have been built
using global image features including
Sunderland’s CHROMA

20. 20
Regioning
• Break Image down into visually coherent
areas
Can identify meaningful areas and
objects
Computationally intensive
Unreliable
21. 21
Colour
• Produce a colour signature for
region/whole image
• Typically done using colour correllograms
or colour histograms
22. 22
Colour Histograms
Identify a numberof buckets in which to sort the
available colours (e.g. red green and blue, orup to
ten orso colours)
Allocate each pixel in an image to a bucket and count
the numberof pixels in each bucket.
Use the figure produced (bucket id plus count,
normalised forimage size and resolution) as the
index key (signature) foreach image.
24. 24
Other Colour Issues
• Many Colour Models
– RGB (red green blue)
– HSV (Hue Saturation Value)
– Lab, etc. etc.
• Problem is getting something like human
vision
– Individual differences
25. 25
Texture
• Produce a mathematical characterisation of
a repeating pattern in the image
– Smooth
– Sandy
– Grainy
– Stripey
28. 28
Texture
• Reduces an area/region to a (small - 15 ?)
set of numbers which can be used a
signature for that region.
• Proven to work weel in practice
• Hard for people to understand

relevant keyword assigned
Still useful - but only for a vocabulary of 400 words !
