In this paper, we propose a method for image selection using Web image search for automatic video biography authoring. In the proposed method, images are selected from the image search results considering their visual contents for inclusion in the video biography. Through evaluation, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed image selection method compared to a baseline method which simply selects...
Venue photos, as a new type of multimedia contents, are exploding on the Internet because users like to take photos and share with their friends in which venue they spent time and what impressed them there. Discovering a venue by a social photo is very useful for supplementing venue retrieval and recommendation. However, little research focused on fine-grained venue discovery by leveraging multimodal...
Following the trend of big data, the business value of data is becoming a hot research field in recent years. The novel concept of Data Jacket introduced by Ohsawa et al. solved the difficult problem of data transactions due to the particular characteristic of data, i.e. the safeguarding privacy. In order to make sure the mechanism of the market of data, there are some researchers proposed a gamified...
In this work, the principal aim is establishing networks parameters of wireless sensor. These devices can transmit variables to monitoring the quality of tourist beaches in the Colombian Caribbean. We propose a methodology to choose the network elements and its technologies. We analysis data based on coverage and implement the prototype. We show that the maximum distance between nodes is 33 m at mesh...
It presents the design and implementation of a manufacturing system integrating information and control technologies to provide an access to the user into part of the production system. A distributed control system is structured using didactic plants which emulate a manufacturing system of soft drinks. The control system is developed in Codesys®, integrating its operation through a monitoring system...
The development of the Internet and the emergence of smart devices have brought about significant changes in the existing shopping structure and shopping patterns, and have resulted in notable qualitative growth and development in everyday life of consumers. In particular, the shopping structure is changing in the form of an Omni Channel to maximize customer's purchase experience. However, since Omni...
We present a new tool to help students make use of video recordings of traditional chalkboard and whiteboard lectures. Our tool provides a compact summary of a chalkboard lecture in the form of a set of slides, and an interactive environment for electronic note-taking in real time while watching a lecture in class or during review. Key to the processing of a chalkboard video by our system is the removal...
The number of Brazilians who are enrolled in educational distance courses has increased significantly in recent years. This type of education has as great ally, the Internet. Unfortunately, in Brazil the majority of the population has no access to the Internet in their home, which is an obstacle for those who want to take a distance education course. The present work explored the features offered...
This article describes SECav, an educational software developed in the context of a research project, with the aim of supporting the teaching and learning processes of a Numerical Calculus course that is taught for several courses of the Exact and Natural Sciences Faculty of the UNLPam University. SECav focuses on the numerical resolution of nonlinear equations, polynomial interpolation and approximation,...
This work aims to present the planning, development (methodology) and implementation (technologies used) of the learnning object (LO) SegurIdade Virtual, as well as highlighting the learning experiences with the object. The material was built in game format and seeks to develop, in a playful way, the critical thinking of the elderly public for the safe use of the internet. The object was builded based...
The ability of learning from noisy labels is very useful in many visual recognition tasks, as a vast amount of data with noisy labels are relatively easy to obtain. Traditionally, label noise has been treated as statistical outliers, and techniques such as importance re-weighting and bootstrapping have been proposed to alleviate the problem. According to our observation, the real-world noisy labels...
Studies about improving of health quality conditions of handicapped members is getting increase. Internet become one of the important part of human life in todays. Accessibility is a term that determine of using systems and product by everyone. Our aim in this study to determine difficulties of handicapped persons to use internet and smart phone. According to results of the study, handicapped persons...
This paper discusses the challenges related to the insertion of Virtual and Augmented Reality in the teaching and learning processes, considering their multidisciplinary aspect, the adherence to Web 3.0 and a scenario of possible gains and results with such an insertion. There will be pointed out the features that made VR and AR solutions with a potential big impact, despite not properly explored...
As study on information recommendation suitable for individuals, there are many study consideration of personal preference, but few studies consider the degree of specialization. Therefore, in this study, we aim to propose information recommendation method suitable for personal degree of specialization. In this paper, as the first stage, we will clarify the difference between the viewpoint of experts...
Given a users query, traditional image search systems rank images according to its relevance to a single modality (e.g., image content or surrounding text). Nowadays, an increasing number of images on the Internet are available with associated meta data in rich modalities (e.g., titles, keywords, tags, etc.), which can be exploited for better similarity measure with queries. In this paper, we leverage...
The present study aims to identify the intellectual structure of computed-supported collaborate learning (CSCL) so as to provide more insights into the research trend, the most influential scholars, categories, and regions. This paper analyzed the articles and conference publications derived from Web of Science (WOS) in the field of CSCL from 2006 to 2016. A total of 792 articles were selected and...
In this paper, images generated from pinyin and actual written simplified characters are comprehensively analyzed through Internet and electronic device usage. The study is based on current usage of most frequently used Chinese simplified characters in smart phones, mobile devices and in WWW. Generally a Chinese character carries significant meaning, and evolved over the years through representation...
With the goal of discovering the common and salient objects from the given image group, co-saliency detection has received tremendous research interest in recent years. However, as most of the existing co-saliency detection methods are performed based on the assumption that all the images in the given image group should contain co-salient objects in only one category, they can hardly be applied in...
At present, internet and social networks are most used by teenagers. New on-line conduct and preferences have been generated by positive and negative content and easily accessed in the web without any parenting control. The purpose of this paper is to recall most common risks for teenagers like inappropriate content, pornography, websites with malicious software, contact avoidance with unknown people...
The time that people spend inside buildings is very significant, so the environmental quality of these spaces is recognized as an important risk factor for human health.
