Classifying materials from their appearance is challenging. Impressive results have been obtained under varying illumination and pose conditions. Still, the effect of scale variations and the possibility to generalize across different material samples are ...
The development of road telematics requires the management of ever-growing databases related to traffic fluidity, live consignment monitoring and vehicle fleet tracking, as to driver assistance. Such an effort relies on the tight synergy between navigation ...
Cursive character recognition is a challenging task due to high variability and intrinsic ambiguity of cursive letters. This paper presents \emph{C-Cube} (Cursive Character Challenge), a new public-domain cursive character database. \emph{C-Cube} contains ...
Generalized snapshot isolation extends snapshot isolation as used in Oracle and other databases in a manner suitable for replicated databases. While (conventional) snapshot isolation requires that transactions observe the “latest” snapshot of the database, ...
A fracture toughness database obtained on the Eurofer97 steel (25 mm plate, heat 83697) is presented. The material has been tested in the 'as-received' condition in the lower transition region at temperatures ranging from 173 K down to 123 K. Sub-sized (0. ...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach addresses the multi-dimensionality of quality and trust, taking into account c ...
Cursive character recognition is a challenging task due to high variability and intrinsic ambiguity of cursive letters. This paper presents \emph{C-Cube} (Cursive Character Challenge), a new public-domain cursive character database. \emph{C-Cube} contains ...
The issues of fusion with client-dependent and confidence information have been well studied separately in biometric authentication. In this study, we propose to take advantage of both sources of information in a discriminative framework. Initially, each s ...
Mammals adapt to a rapidly changing world because of the sophisticated perceptual and cognitive function enabled by the neocortex. The neocortex, which has expanded to constitute nearly 80% of the human brain seems to have arisen from repeated duplication ...
The present invention proposes a method to filter electronic messages in a message processing system, this message processing system comprising a temporary memory for storing the received messages intended to users, a first database dedicated to a specific ...
