Wireless sensor networks have been receiving increasing attention in recent years due to
their potential applications in the establishment of dynamic communications for emergency/…

This paper examines the IEEE 802.16j multihop relay (MR) technology that improves vehicle-to-infrastructure
communications. We study the selection of optimal relay station (RS) for a …

In this paper, we investigate the problem of grouping the sensor nodes into clusters to enhance
the overall scalability of the network. A selected set of nodes, known as gateway nodes, …

In this paper, multidimensional feature measures of object shapes and feature blobs for
retrieval of ceramic artifacts (eg, plates, vases, and bowls) are proposed. These measures …

Multihop Relay (MR) is defined in IEEE 802.16J for coverage extension and capacity
enhancement of the legacy IEEE 802.16e point-to-multi-point (PMP) networks. In MR networks, …

Attempts have been made to extend SQL to work with multimedia databases. We are
reserved on the representation ability of extended SQL to cope with the richness in content of …

Recognition of a human face is very easy even to a child, but is extremely difficult for computers.
Here we present a Computer Aided Facial Image Identification, Retrieval and Inference …

Contrary to one of the key conclusions of the paper by Sikora and Makai (see ibid., vol.5, no.1,
p.5962, 1995), the cross-correlation of the one-dimensional shape-adaptive DCT (1-D SA-…

In this paper, an optimal image coding scheme based on Wavelet decomposition and vector
quantization is proposed. The selection of wavelet transformed coefficients for encoding is …

Progress in storage, communication, compression and high quality input and output technologies
have accelerated the development and deployment of Image Information Retrieval (IIR…
