Colorization is a very challenging task for computers which requires very high performance of segmentation, object recognition, color understanding, etc., and even for humans, it’s very demanding and arduous work to fully accomplish. To achieve this task, there traditionally has been three approaches: example based model, scribble based model, and data-driven based model which introduced relati...

Yelp is one of the largest online searching and reviewing systems for kinds of businesses, including restaurants, shopping, home services et al. Analyzing the real world data from Yelp is valuable in acquiring the interests of users, which helps to improve the design of the next generation system. This paper targets the evaluation of Yelp dataset, which is provided in the Yelp data challenge. A...

MitBASE is a comprehensive and integrated mitochondrial genome database funded within the EU BIOTECH PROGRAM. It is a project for the development and implementation of an integrated and comprehensive database of mitochondrial data which will collect all available information from different organisms and from intraspecies variants and mutants. The present paper describes the structure of the Hum...

Visual privacy protection, i.e., obfuscation of personal visual information in video surveillance is an important and increasingly popular research topic. However, while many datasets are available for testing performance of various video analytics, little to nothing exists for evaluation of visual privacy tools. Since surveillance and privacy protection have contradictory objectives, the desig...

This article describes a lexical substitution dataset for German. The whole dataset contains 2,040 sentences from the German Wikipedia, with one target word in each sentence. There are 51 target nouns, 51 adjectives, and 51 verbs randomly selected from 3 frequency groups based on the lemma frequency list of the German WaCKy corpus. 200 sentences have been annotated by 4 professional annotators ...

The Linked Data principles provide a decentral approach for publishing structured data in RDF on the Web. A consequence of this architectural choice is a high variance in the quality of the RDF datasets which constitute the Linked Data cloud. In this demo paper, we address a particular aspect of quality, i.e., the discriminability of resources. During our demo, we will present our simple three-...

Common representation of the environment is usually depicted as a global or local map. To increase robustness of autonomous creation of such a representation, novel datasets are required. We introduce a system to record precise datasets targeting semi-structured environments which is most likely to be encountered in USAR situations. The global positioning, recorded with a theodolite, is precise...

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) as a 2D imaging instrument has been widely used in many scientific disciplines including biological, mechanical, and materials sciences to determine the surface attributes of microscopic objects. However the SEM micrographs still remain 2D images. To effectively measure and visualize the surface properties, we need to truly restore the 3D shape model from ...

In this work, we define a new pilgrims face recognition and face detection dataset, called Hajj and Umrah facial dataset. The new developed dataset presents various pilgrims’ images taken from outside the Holy Masjid El-Harram in Makkah during the 2011-2012 Hajj and Umrah seasons. Such dataset will be used to test our developed facial recognition and detection algorithms, as well as in the miss...
