The Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems and their application in different areas of development, are current research topics, however many of this systems are likely to fail due to use global features which cannot ...

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 ...

The ontologies are being used to implement new features and improvements in information search and retrieval systems, especially in web context. This article aims to present an overview of ontologies in information retrieval ...

BackgroundA high-quality electronic search is essential in ensuring accuracy and completeness in retrieved records for the conducting of a systematic review.ObjectiveWe analysed the available sample of search strategies ...

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 ...

Contextual information extracted from the user task can help to better target retrieval to task-relevant content. In particular, topical context can be exploited to identify the sub- ject of the information needs, contributing ...

The present study tackles two overlooked aspects of analogical retrieval: (1) whether argumentation activities elicit a spontaneous search for analogical sources, and (2) whether strategic search can relax the superficial ...
