A Hybrid Bio-Inspired Algorithm for Scheduling and Resource Management in Cloud Environmen

Enhancing Sketch-Based Image Retrieval by Re-ranking and Relevance Feedback Abstract A sketch-based image retrieval often needs to optimize the tradeoff between efficiency and precision. Index structures are typically applied to large-scale databases to realize efficient retrievals. However, the performance can be affected by quantization errors. Moreover, the ambiguousness of user-provided examples may also degrade the performance, when compared with traditional image retrieval methods.Sketch-based image retrieval systems that preserve […]


Content Based Image Retrieval using Salient Orientation Histograms

Multiscale and Multidirectional Multilooking for SAR Image Enhancement Abstract: With the steadily increasing spatial resolution of synthetic aperture radar images, the need for a consistent but locally adaptive image enhancement rises considerably. Numerous studies already showed that adaptive multilooking, able to adjust the degree of smoothing locally to the size of the targets, is superior […]
