In this paper, we address the problem of stamp recognition. The goal is to classify a given stamp to a certain country and also identify the year it is published. We propose a new approach for stamp recognition based on describing a given stamp image using color information and texture information. For color information we use color histogram for the entire image and for texture we use two feat...

we deal with a wide range of colors in our daily life. they are such ubiquitous phenomena that is hard and next to impossible to imagine even a single entity (be it an object, place, living creature, etc) devoid of them. they are like death and tax which nobody can dispense with. this omnipresence of colors around us has also made its way through abstract and less tangible entities via the inte...

1 The support of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is gratefully acknowledged (award number R000 23 3978). We are also very grateful to Sean Hammond for useful discussions on statistical matters. Abstract We report an attempt to find more objective measures for identifying basic colour terms. We investigate the types of measure available, both linguistic and behavioural, and the s...

近年来 ,有关中医、中草药等内容的译著、译文 层出不穷 ,引起了世界各国医学界的极大关注。在 中医翻译实践中 ,中医名词术语的翻译是核心、是首 要。这就是说 ,要与国外医学界交流信息 , 要使译文 能顺利地为外国读者理解 , 我们首先要能准确地翻 译中医名词术语 ,进而达到准确完整地翻译中医、中 草药等专著、专文的目的。 中医药名词术语的规范化 , 是中医药学一项重 要的基础性系统工程。它对于中医药现代化、国际 化 ,中医药知识的传播 , 国内外医药交流 , 学科与行 业间的沟通 ,中医药科技成果的推广使用和生产技 术的发展 ,中医药书刊和教材的编辑出版 , 特别是对 现代信息技术的发展和应用都具有十分重要而深远 的意义。它对中医药电子辞典编纂以及专家库系 统、知识库系统、机器翻译系统等具有商品价值的实 用计算机系统的研制具有推动和促进作用 , 将会产 生巨大的社会和经济效益。 由中...

The authors sought to replicate and extend the work of E. Rosch Heider (1972) on the Dani with a comparable group from Papua, New Guinea, who speak Berinmo, which has 5 basic color terms. Naming and memory for highly saturated focal, non-focal, and low-saturation stimuli from around the color space were investigated. Recognition of desaturated colors was affected by color vocabulary. When respo...

handicaps to effective introduction of semiotic achievements into software development in the spheres related to human perception such as interfaces, computer languages, DB queries, arise due to the absence of analysis and modeling methods adequate to the complicity of the investigated objects. A formal model that expresses basic semiotic notions in species of structures is presented in the pap...

This paper presents a new characterization of provably recursive functions of first-order arithmetic. We consider functions defined by sets of equations. The equations can be arbitrary, not necessarily defining primitive recursive, or even total, functions. The main result states that a function is provably recursive iff its totality is provable (using natural deduction) from the defining set o...

This project will discuss hat problems and the Axiom of Choice. A basic example of a …nite hat problem is helpful in introducing the concept. Assume that there are two players and two possible hat colors, red and blue. The players will be given a certain amount of time before the game begins to communicate and create a strategy for determining their own hat colors. After this initial strategy s...
