Abstract:
... In low-resolution wide-area aerial imagery, object detection algorithms are categorized as feature extraction and machine learning approaches, where the former often requires a post-processing scheme to reduce false detections and the latter demands multi-stage learning followed by post-processing. In this paper, we present an approach on how to select post-processing schemes for aerial object det ...

Abstract:
... With the growing number of digitally available collections consisting of images depicting relevant objects from the past in relation with descriptive annotations, the need for suitable information retrieval techniques is becoming increasingly important to support historians in their work. In this context, we address the problem of image retrieval for searching records in a database of silk fabrics ...

Abstract:
... This paper considers k-farthest neighbor (kFN) join queries in spatial networks where the distance between two points is the length of the shortest path connecting them. Given a positive integer k, a set of query points Q, and a set of data points P, the kFN join query retrieves the k data points farthest from each query point in Q. There are many real-life applications using kFN join queries, inc ...

Abstract:
... In cave ecosystems tourists represent moving sources of discontinuous disturbances, able to induce transient system responses whose knowledge is crucial in defining appropriate conservation measures. Here we propose an approach to evaluate the amplitude and scales of cave alterations based on high-resolution air monitoring, through the use of purposely developed low-cost monitoring stations and a ...

... To address declining participation rates in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, Texas WIC developed and deployed Maya, the Texas WIC chatbot, in June 2020. Maya is an automated software application that allows visitors of TexasWIC.org to ask questions about eligibility and begin the process of making an appointment. Maya has been developed within a user-centered design framework, with ...

Abstract:
... The discrete representation of resources in geospatial catalogues affects their information retrieval performance. The performance could be improved by using automatically generated clusters of related resources, which we name quasi-spatial dataset series. This work evaluates whether a clustering process can create quasi-spatial dataset series using only textual information from metadata elements. ...

Abstract:
... The central nervous system (CNS) plays an important role in the human body. It is involved in the receive, store and participation in information retrieval. It can use several substrates as a source of energy, however, the main source of energy is glucose. Cells of the central nervous system need a continuous supply of energy, therefore, transport of glucose into these cells is very important. The ...

Abstract:
... Social media was a heavily used platform by people in different countries to express their opinions about different crises, especially during the Covid-19 pandemics. This dataset is created through collecting people's comments in the news items on the official Facebook site of the National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo. The dataset contains a total of 10,132 comments that are human-annotate ...

Abstract:
... Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing is increasingly needed to assess the 3D architecture of Earth's surface. Physically-based LiDAR radiative transfer (RT) models are essential tools for interpreting LiDAR signals, designing LiDAR systems, and validating information retrieval methods. Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) is one of the most accurate and comprehensive 3D RT ...

... The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) carried on-board satellites yields invaluable data of global wave spectra since the early 1990s, with several satellites in orbit at present and more launches scheduled in the near future. However, the retrieval of wave information from SAR images constitutes a complex set of procedures. In this context, we have presented here a methodology to simulate SAR image ...

Abstract:
... Contaminated sites are a main cause of urban soil problems and have led to increasing pollution and public risk in China as a result of the rapid growth of industrial and urban land use. Because land pollution involves extensive multi-source heterogeneous information, identifying the risk of urban soil pollution efficiently and predicting pollution-related events are important for urban environmen ...
... Information on biodiversity is essential to evaluate the ecological status of coral reefs. Sounds produced by reef-associated organisms have been used as a biodiversity indicator. However, the interference from abiotic sounds and the lack of a comprehensive audio library have impeded effective evaluation. This study investigated the application of underwater soundscapes as a remote-sensing method ...

Abstract:
... Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) is known to be a useful tool in data visualization and information retrieval for high dimensional data. Many well-known SDR approaches investigate the inverse conditional moments of the predictors given the response. Motivated by the idea of the aggregate dimension reduction, we propose an ensemble of inverse moment estimators to explore the central subspace. T ...
