Can “Semi-relevant Images” Vitalize Brainstorming?

Affinity + : Semi - Structured Brainstorming on Large Displays

Affinity diagraming is a powerful method for encouraging and capturing lateral thinking in a group environment. The Affinity+ Concept was designed to improve the collaborative brainstorm process through the use of large display surfaces in conjunction with mobile devices like smart phones and tablets. The system works by capturing the ideas digitally and allowing users manually sort and group t...

Semi-supervised segmentation of images

Segmentation of patterns in images is usually based on the processing chain ”segmentation – feature extraction – classification”. It will be described, how for an arbitrary application an automatic processing stream can be generated with an initial feed back from an expert. The core of this new method is an automatic generator of optimized classifications and an example based interactive featur...

Relevant Scatterers Characterization in Sar Images

Recognizing scenes in a single look meter resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, requires the capability to identify relevant signal signatures in condition of variable image acquisition geometry, arbitrary objects poses and configurations. Among the methods to detect relevant scatterers in SAR images, we can mention the internal coherence. The SAR spectrum splitted in azimuth genera...

LiveImage: Organizing Web Images by Relevant Concept

The images retrieved from conventional Web search engines are not normally well organized in a conceptually meaningful way. Users find it difficult to reformulate effective queries through browsing the retrieved images. This paper presents an approach that organizes the retrieved images with relevant concepts, which are generated automatically from a concept pool obtained from various online re...
