This paper presents a novel approach for personal identification based on a wavelet-based fingerprint retrieval system which encompasses three image retrieval tasks, namely, feature extraction, similarity measurement, and ...

Linked Open Data has become a standard for data publishing and data enrichment, and it supports the transition from a document-driven Web to an interconnected Web of data and thus to the Semantic Web. On the other hand, ...

Information Retrieval is responsible for the storage and automatic retrieval of information, and these documents may consist of texts, web pages, audio, video, images, graphics and figures. Information Retrieval techniques ...

The support of time series similarity searches might be crucial in phenology studies, in which long-term time series analysis based on the identification of similar and different phenological patterns shared by individuals ...

The agricultural information is distributed in different actors and institutions. A lot of this information is available in digital format and can be accessed with web technologies. However, the diversity in conceptual ...

This paper proposes a new texture descriptor to guide the search and retrieval in image databases. It extracts rich information from global and local primitives of textured images. At a higher level, the global macro-features ...

This paper proposes a new rotation-invariant and scale-invariant representation for texture image retrieval based on Steerable Pyramid Decomposition. By calculating the mean and standard deviation of decomposed image ...

The use of the Internet to access government data is growing and presents possibilities for citizens to monitor the implementation of public policies. In the context of public policies for the agriculture sector, it is ...
