DOVES, a database of visual eye movements, is a set of eye movements collected from 29 human observers as they viewed 101 natural calibrated images. Recorded using a high-precision dual-Purkinje eye tracker, the database consists of around 30 000 fixation points, and is believed to be the first large-scale database of eye movements to be made available to the vision research community. The data...

Introduction V isualization can be applied to almost all computer-based applications such as medical education, scientific data, virtual reality, simulation, and so forth. Research in visual databases addresses the problem of retrieving, updating, and displaying a 3-D static or dynamic world which consists of a large number of objects stored in a centralized or distributed database. In addition...

This paper contains information about the “Sabanci University Turkish Audio-Visual (SUTAV)” database. The main aim of collecting SUTAV database was to obtain a large audio-visual collection of spoken words, numbers and sentences in Turkish language. The database was collected between 2006 and 2010 during “Novel approaches in audio-visual speech recognition” project which is funded by The Scient...

We propose a product specification database which is suited to product evolution, modeling the product specification as an object. In this database, we propose a behavioral constraint to maintain consistency. Furthermore, this database can manage visual specification, such as operational specification, which is hard to handle in an ordinary database. We have been developing Visual CASE: an obje...

1 Abstract We present work in progress on creating and using a novel audiovisual database that contains a diverse set of conversational expressions. The database is currently undergoing cleaning, annotation and validation to make it useful for the research community. While our main focus is on conversational expressions, we believe that the audio data is of use for the language community. We ai...

We demonstrate a visual based XML-Relational database system where XML data is managed by commercial RDBMS. A query interface enables users to form path expression based queries against stored data visually. Statistics about data and a special path directory are used to rewrite path expression based queries into efficient SQL statements involving less number of joins.

In this work, a system of audio visual speech recognition will be presented. A new hybrid visual feature combination, which is suitable for audio -visual speech recognition was implemented. The features comprise both the shape and the appearance of lips, the dimensional reduction is applied using discrete cosine transform (DCT). A large visual speech database of the German language has been ass...

With the advances in multimedia technology and the popularization of the Internet, it is now possible to access a large number of image or video repositories (visual databases) distributed throughout the world. To facilitate such access, a challenging problem is how the capability of each database can be adequately summarized to enable the query distributing server to perform an intelligent sel...

SUMMARY In this paper, a novel framework for extracting visual feature-based keyword relationships from an image database is proposed. From the characteristic that a set of relevant keywords tends to have common visual features, the keyword relationships in a target image database are extracted by using the following two steps. First, the relationship between each keyword and its corresponding ...

This paper introduces a visual language for active database systems. We present a new approach to database programming based on visual active language that allows us to describe active rules in a graphical way. The resulting visual language can be transformed into a textual one. In addition, an active system can be represented with several di erent graphs showing the interactions of rules and t...
