Automatic extraction of information from music data is an important and challenging issue in the field of content-based music retrieval. As part of the research effort, this study presents a technique that automatically identifies cover versions of songs specified by users. The technique enables users to search for songs with an identical tune, but performed by different singers, in different l...

This work presents a novel approach to content-based image retrieval in categorical multimedia databases. The images are indexed using a combination of text and content descriptors. The categories are viewed as semantic clusters of images and are used to confine the search space.

This is to certify that I have examined this copy of a master's thesis by Anand Sivaraman and have found that it is complete and satisfactory in all respects, and that any and all revisions required by the final examining committee have been made. ABSTRACT Content-based image retrieval systems retrieve images from a database that are

Texture is widely used in CBIR, and there have been a number of studies over the years to establish which features are perceptually significant. However, it is still diSJicult to retrieve reliably images that the human user would agree are “similar”. This paper reviews a range of computational methods, and compares their performance in class@ing and retrieving imagesporn the Brodatz set. Their ...

We describe the outcome of an effort to understand the behavior of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) technology by examining the behavior of a CBIR system in response to carefully constructed input query images. This work is preliminary and only considers a single CBIR system, SIMPLIcity[4]. We chose this particular system for expediency. It is our intention to develop a methodology suitable...

Kurzfassung. Taking an inspiration from psychological studies of visual attention, the contribution of this paper lies in prediction of the critical points of the trajectory using the structure of a scene and physical motion model. On one side, we present our approach for video analysis that differs from traditional tracking techniques by predicting future states of the moving object rather tha...

This document presents a State Of the Art related to most popular products, tools and methods related to CBIR.

The significant role of needs analysis in enriching the design and content of ESP course books could be in no way ignored. The present study based on a three-year longitudinal needs analysis study of medical students, a medical ESP course book was developed and approved by experts. The feedback of the four-semester practice of the approved book revealed that practitioners showed great interest ...

As part of an undergraduate pipeline program at our institution for students from underrepresented minorities in medicine backgrounds, we created an intensive four-week medical microbiology course. Team-based learning (TBL) was implemented in this course to enhance student learning of course content. Three different student cohorts participated in the study, and there were no significant differ...

The development of distance education put forward higher requirements for WEB courseware, it should update teaching content based on the degree of students. This article proposes a resource sharing model of courseware based on semantic web so as to solve the problem of courseware in the teaching process. It takes Resource sharing based on SCORM courses object model as a framework and use XML to...
