In this context, the classification of chart images becomes important because it allows various types of graphs to be detected automatically in different contexts, allowing a more specific processing for each type of visualization, for example, data extraction. Several techniques of image classification can be used, where the most common are based on the extraction of features of the images, and a later classification using these features. However, one technique that has been gaining prominence in the context of image classification is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). This technique is based on deep learning and, in a way, encapsulates the feature extraction process. In this way, the proposal of this article is to use an architecture of a client-server based model to do the chart image classification and later data extraction from this image. The main advantage is doing the CNN processing on the server side, so the application does not rely on client device limitations. For this, an image dataset was generated from the web, and it has ten classes of graphs. From the experiments done, it was seen that the use of this technique was feasible, and modifications in the architecture can be made as a proposal to improve the accuracy of the model.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"239 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114098220","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}

While the attackers access the game site with normal actions, they find vulnerabilities and try cheating actions. While the defenders monitor server logs, they detect illegal events and prevent them for maintenance. An action of each side is calculated as a point and makes each score for victory or defeat by the contest rule. The contest organizer reviews the progress situation with all participants.

The purpose of our research is to support the comparative analysis of weighted free trees. The fundamental categories of visualization techniques that support comparison are juxtaposition, superposition, and explicit encoding. Juxtaposition is often used for comparison. However, the cognitive load required to grasp a difference is large. Superposition is effective for recognizing a difference, but select information may be difficult to observe. Explicit encoding is an effective technique specialized in a specific task, but representation switching may occur frequently during analysis. Hence, there is the risk of destructing a viewer's mental map, which reduces work efficiency. We divide the working process of analysis into 14 tasks and develop four visualization techniques that can continually perform these tasks. Moreover, we conduct an experiment to investigate whether our proposed techniques are able to perform these tasks. We confirm that these tasks can be performed efficiently by applying our techniques to a case study that compares two trees.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126954770","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}

Processing, exploring and visualizing the inconceivable volumes of such images has turned out to be progressively troublesome. The Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) remains an important issue that finds potential applications, given the place that retrieving digital images similar to a user-defined specification or pattern in huge databases now occupies in the day-to-day. CBIR systems use visual information like color, shape and texture to represent images in feature vectors. In general, there is an inconsistency in the evaluation of similarity between images according to human perception and the results computed by CBIR systems, which is called Semantic Gap. One way to improve CBIR systems is by the addition of techniques to visualize and interact with CBIR regarding similarity and diversity criteria, where the user can participate more actively in the process and steer the results according to its needs. In this paper we present the Visual-Interactive k-NDN Method (ViK): a novel approach to visualize and interact with Content-Based Image Retrieval systems. This paper aims at making use of Visual Data Mining techniques applied to queries in CBIR systems, improving the interpretability of the measure of diversity, applied using fractal analysis, as well as the relevance of results according to the prior knowledge of the user. Therefore, the user takes an active role in the content-based image retrieval, guiding its result and, consequently, reducing the Semantic Gap. Additionally, a better understanding of the diversity and similarity factors involved in the query is supported by visualization and interaction techniques.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124606928","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}
