With the proliferation of cell phone cameras, new applications are being sought out by cell phone service providers. We explore a possibility for one such application that will provide image recognition for digitally captured images. Specifically, we investigate the applicability of eigenimages for the recognition of pieces of art that were captured with the Nokia N93 camera-phone.

Systems that use both relational and object-oriented databases complicate the process of estimating overall system performances. Our goal in Nokia Research Center is to try to evaluate the utilization of OODBMS as a performance booster for applications currently based on relational databases.

In Nokia’s blizzard 2010 entry, we built the system with Nokia multilingual text to speech front end system and two high performance HTS backends. This MLTTS front end system describes the design and implementation designed for universal language coverage and a single code execution for them all based on the assumption that there are more features uniting world languages than differentiating them.
