Retrieving objects from large image collection is challenging due to the so-called background-interference, i.e., matching between query object and reference images is usually confused by cluttered background, especially when objects are small. In this paper, we propose an object retrieval technique addressing this problem by partitioning the images. Specifically, several object proposals are partitioned...
Accounting for a patient's emotional state is integral in medical care. Positive emotions have a significant influence on mental and physical health. Much research has been carried out on the impact of emotion on the development and course of different illnesses. Emotion and significant contexts have an important role in helping people cope with depression, but lack of support undermines coping. In...
Rule-based systems have been shown to enable automated problem solving and decision-support. Rule-based systems are however inherently domain specific requiring strategic rules design to address the requirements specification for the problem under consideration. Rule-based systems fall into two (general) types: traditional and fuzzy rule-based systems. This paper considers rule types and strategies...
Context has been applied to a broad range of domains and systems ranging from location-based tourist applications to motion capture. An area relatively under-represented in the literature is health-monitoring systems. This paper considers the application of context in health monitoring and the role of translational research, a concept that relates to the translation of basic research into clinical...
Context-aware systems provide an effective basis upon which the processing of captured and user-entered data (contextual information) with a direct relationship to an individuals current personal and environmental situation (termed `situated role') can be achieved. Context-aware systems have significant potential benefits for the individual, academia, and industry alike, the use of context being evident...
Context represents a fundamental issue in research into pervasive and cooperative computing applications. This paper presents a survey on context modelling issues, together with a discussion on approaches to context modelling in intelligent context-aware pervasive systems. There is a parametric evaluation of the approaches considered, the conclusion drawn being that ontology-based modelling approach...
An entities profile, termed context, is fundamental in context-aware computing. Context definitions can provide the basis upon which ontologies can be achieved, an ontology being the conceptualisation of a domain. This paper proposes an approach to the definition of context and presents a discussion on ontology. The issues that impact the implementation of ontologies are discussed and intelligent...
