TLDR
The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images.Abstract:
MUCKE aims to mine a large volume of images, to structure them conceptually and to use this conceptual structuring in order to improve large-scale image retrieval. The last decade witnessed important progress concerning low-level image representations. However, there are a number problems which need to be solved in order to unleash the full potential of image mining in applications. The central problem with low-level representations is the mismatch between them and the human interpretation of image content. This problem can be instantiated, for instance, by the incapability of existing descriptors to capture spatial relationships between the concepts represented or by their incapability to convey an explanation of why two images are similar in a content-based image retrieval framework. We start by assessing existing local descriptors for image classification and by proposing to use co-occurrence matrices to better capture spatial relationships in images. The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images. Consequently, we introduce methods which tackle these two problems and compare results to state of the art methods. Note: some aspects of this deliverable are withheld at this time as they are pending review. Please contact the authors for a preview.read more

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that the dominant mechanism underlying the role of bark beetles in sapstain development in this study system is not vector-mediated spore dispersal, per se, but rather the facilitation of spore entry and hyphal development through tunnelling and feeding activities.

TL;DR: The transcription factor FOXO1 contributes to developing hierarchical lymphangiogenesis in the mouse-tail dermis by transcribing the CXCR4 chemokine receptor and controlling CXCL12-dependent cell migration and proliferation in lymphatic endothelium.

TL;DR: In this article, Zn-rich and Cu-rich particles with diameters up to several microns were found to be homogeneously distributed within the SiOx films, and the results indicated that the films show a high potential for use as effective antibacterial surfaces for medical applications.

A framework for feature-based indexing for spatial databases
TL;DR: This paper proposes a data-driven method for efficient retrieval of objects as well as similar shapes with a given query object in the spatial database environment, using a variant of the K-D-B tree to construct the index structure.

Iris recognition: an emerging biometric technology
TL;DR: This paper examines automated iris recognition as a biometrically based technology for personal identification and verification from the observation that the human iris provides a particularly interesting structure on which to base a technology for noninvasive biometric assessment.
