Many compression standards are in place. There are many methods for image classification. But the joint compression and classification is a new research area wherein the classification is attempted in the compressed domain. The joint compression and classification (JCC) is explored in wavelet domain by some researchers. But it is not yet explored in Ridgelet domain. This paper discusses the performance of JCC for Wavelet and Ridgelet domain for Texture images. The experimentation is done with objective analysis and subjective analysis. Objective analysis is performed using the Compression metrics-RMSE, PSNR and classification metric- CCR. Subjective analysis is performed using Human Visual Perception. It is found that the Ridgelet Transform gives less Mean Squared Error (MSE) and is better for Joint Compression and Classification of Texture images. Extensive experimentation has been carried out to arrive at the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":234433,"journal":{"name":"2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based System","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125758313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes Wraplet, a wrapping language for extracting structured data from Web contents written in HTML.

Its simple syntax and the library of useful patterns help the user write wrapping descriptions by hand. We explain the motivation of its development and the language design and then shows the result of a preliminary experiment about applicability of the language to real Web sources. We conducted a statistical analysis and obtained the result that the applicability of Wraplet is more than 90% at the 95% confidence level in the experimental setting.","PeriodicalId":234433,"journal":{"name":"2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based System","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121941659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simplest models linearly predict motion parameters from gray-scale variations measured at features. Choosing the features and training the predictor is done during a preliminary off-line stage. This paper presents several methods that improve the features selection process by filtering out some features from a given set. In particular, we are interested in the SVD-based subset selection procedure proposed by Golub and Van Loan. We show a significant improvement of tracking performance when our method filters Moravec, Harris, KLT or SUSAN features. We conclude that individually good selected features may not build a good subset and that a good spatial distribution of the features is paramount.","PeriodicalId":234433,"journal":{"name":"2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based System","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129516424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing tracking algorithms can be roughly divided into model-free and model-based methods. Probabilistic assembly of parts falls into model-free category. An important advantage of this technique is that pose can be estimated independently at each frame, allowing estimation for rapid movements, but most such approaches only get 2D tracking results. The use of an explicit model is the most widely investigated methodology, but often suffers from high computational costs. In this paper, we employ particle filtering to get candidate body parts with salient features, integrate probabilistic assembly of parts with model constraints to get the best pose configuration. Experimental results show that our approach can robustly track human motion even when hands move rapidly or self-occlusion exists, and can also automatically initialize and recover from tracking failure.","PeriodicalId":234433,"journal":{"name":"2007 Third International IEEE Conference on Signal-Image Technologies and Internet-Based System","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CIR system registers the previous user interactions to response to the subsequent user queries more efficiently. However well-known problem of personalization in retrieval systems is more acute in CIR systems. The goals and the characteristics of two users may be different; so when they send the same query to a CIR system, they may be interested in two different lists of documents. To solve this problem, we have developed a personalized CIR system, called PERCIRS, based onthe user profiles' similarity to satisfy their queries.Thus selecting an efficient method to calculate the similarity between user profiles is a key factor for enhancing PERCIRSpsilas efficiency.

Rather than using contents in investigating discussions of a community, the user participation is used because it is believed that topics can be somehow reflected by the preferences of participation.
