This paper presents our techniques used and their analysis for the runs made and the results submitted by the CINDI group for the task of the image retrieval and automatic annotation of ImageCLEF 2006. For the ah-hoc image retrieval from both the photographic and medical image collections, we have experimented with cross-modal (image and text) interaction and integration approaches based on the...

background and aim: adolescence is an important stage of life accompanied by deep physical and psychological changes frequently leading to body image dissatisfaction. body image dissatisfaction, found to predict the formation of eating disturbaces, psychiatric disturbances and low self- esteem. the present study examined the body image dissatisfaction and body mass index in adolescent girls. me...

Automatic linguistic indexing of pictures is an important but highly challenging problem for researchers in computer vision and content-based image retrieval. In this paper, we introduce a statistical modeling approach to this problem. Categorized images are used to train a dictionary of hundreds of statistical models each representing a concept. Images of any given concept are regarded as inst...

titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. the major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. the surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implan...

In this paper, we propose a lossless (LS) image compression technique integrating a the integer wavelet transform with a prediction step that is a simplified version of the median edge detector algorithm used with JPEG-LS. First, the image is transformed using the prediction step and a difference image is obtained. The difference image goes through an integer wavelet transform and the transform...

The emerging use of femtosecond lasers with high repetition rates in the MHz regime together with limited scan speed implies possible mutual optical and dynamical interaction effects of the individual cutting spots. In order to get more insight into the dynamics a time-resolved photographic analysis of the interaction of cavitation bubbles is presented. Particularly, we investigated the influen...

In 1998, DiBernardo et al. published a very helpful standardization of comparative (before and after) photographic documentation. These standards prevail to this day. Although most of them are useful for objective documentation of aesthetic results, there are at least 3 reasons why an update is necessary at this time: First, DiBernardo et al. focused on the prevalent standards of medical photog...

Lith Printing is a photographic technique that overexposes negatives onto special purpose paper. Lith prints are becoming increasing popular because their visual appearance is considered to be: “Beautiful, different and personal. Its flexibility offers almost limitless ways of interpreting a negative” [TR98]. But, there are various problems associated with lith printing. It is difficult to dupl...
