Here are the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval, CIVR 2006, held in Singapore in July 2006. Presents 18 revised full papers and 30 poster papers, together with extended abstracts of 5 papers of 1 special session and those of 10 demonstration papers. These cover interactive image and video retrieval, semantic image retrieval, visual feature analysis, learning and classification, image and video retrieval metrics, and machine tagging.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Pacific Rim Symposium on Image and Video Technology, PSIVT 2006, held in Hsinchu, Taiwan in December 2006. The 76 revised full papers and 58 revised poster papers cover a wide range of topics, including all aspects of video and multimedia, both technical and artistic perspectives and both theoretical and practical issues.
It was our great pleasure to host the 4th International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR) at the National University of Singapore on 20–22 July 2005. CIVR aims to provide an international forum for the discussion of research challenges and exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners in image/video retrieval technologies. It addresses innovative research in the broad ?eld of image and video retrieval. A unique feature of this conference is the high level of participation by researchers from both academia and industry. Another unique feature of CIVR this year was in its format – it o?ered both the traditional oral presentation sessions, as well as the short presentat...
Soft computing represents a collection of techniques, such as neural networks, evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic, and probabilistic reasoning. As - posed to conventional "hard" computing, these techniques tolerate impre- sion and uncertainty, similar to human beings. In the recent years, successful applications of these powerful methods have been published in many dis- plines in numerous journals, conferences, as well as the excellent books in this book series on Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing. This volume is dedicated to recent novel applications of soft computing in multimedia processing. The book is composed of 21 chapters written by experts in their respective fields, addres...
The refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval, CIVR 2003, held in Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA in July 2003. The 46 revised full papers presented together with an introduction and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image retrieval, indexing strategies and structures, feature based retrieval, semantic and learning, video retrieval, user studies, applications, video summarization and analysis, and performance.
The two-volume set LNAI 7818 + LNAI 7819 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, PAKDD 2013, held in Gold Coast, Australia, in April 2013. The total of 98 papers presented in these proceedings was carefully reviewed and selected from 363 submissions. They cover the general fields of data mining and KDD extensively, including pattern mining, classification, graph mining, applications, machine learning, feature selection and dimensionality reduction, multiple information sources mining, social networks, clustering, text mining, text classification, imbalanced data, privacy-preserving data mining, recommendation, multimedia data mining, stream data mining, data preprocessing and representation.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval, CIVR 2004, held in Dublin, Ireland in July 2004. The 31 revised full papers and 44 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image annotation and user searching, image and video retrieval algorithms, person and event identification for retrieval, content-based image and video retrieval, and user perspectives.
The book is intended to provide readers with a comprehensive reference for the most current developments in the field. It offers broad coverage of important topics with eighteen chapters covering both technology and applications written by international experts.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases, SSTD 2011, held in Minneapolis, USA, in August 2011. The 24 revised full papers presented together with one keynote, 8 short papers, and 8 demonstration papers, were thoroughly reviewed and selected from a total of 63 research submissions, 21 vision and challenges submissions and 16 demonstration submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge discovery; spatial networks; access methods; moving objects and sensor networks; multidimensional query processing; and temporal and streaming data.
This book argues that understanding global urbanism in the twenty-first century requires us to cast our gaze upon vast city-regions without an urban core.
