We propose a method for text retrieval from document images without the use of OCR. Documents are segmented into character objects. Image features, namely vertical traverse density (VTD) and horizontal (HTD), extracted. An n-gram-based vector is constructed each based on these features. Text similarity between documents then measured by calculating dot product vectors. Testing with seven corpora imaged textual in English Chinese as well UW1 (University Washington 1) database confirms...
We present a new image editing method, particularly effective for sharpening major edges by increasing the steepness of transition while eliminating manageable degree low-amplitude structures. The seemingly contradictive effect is achieved in an optimization framework making use L0 gradient minimization, which can globally control how many non-zero gradients are resulted to approximate prominent structure sparsity-control manner. Unlike other edge-preserving smoothing approaches, our method...
With the development of immersive video, delivery and storage 3D content have become important research areas. While compression methods for meshes point clouds, two main representations content, are actively studied, there few studies their perceptual quality none that consider observation distance. In this paper, we study compressed sequences, both cloud mesh-based compression. We explore impact bit rate distance on quality. Evaluation is carried out by collecting viewer opinion scores...

Cotton modified with a cationic reagent has been dyed by an exhaustion process using nanoscale pigment dispersions. Pigment uptake, colour yield and fastness properties on cotton were measured. Uptake of was found to be closely related the concentration reagent, pH pretreatment bath, temperature time cationisation. These factors also influenced fabric. Nanoscale dispersions gave much higher than conventional cotton. Fastness acceptable for wash‐down effects. It is clear that exhaust dyeing...
Operational Transformation (OT) is a collaboration-enabling technology and increasingly adopted in wide range of real-world applications. One long-lasting issue OT research detecting resolving puzzles -- subtle characteristic collaborative editing scenarios which an system may fail. After many years extensive search research, variety intricate have been de-tected resolved. However, it remains open whether all puzzles, under certain well-defined conditions, discovered. To address this issue,...
Currently, most neuroblastoma patients are treated according to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) risk group assignment; however, neuroblastoma's heterogeneity renders only a few predictors for treatment response, resulting in excessive treatment. Here, we sought couple COG classification with tumor intracellular microbiome, which is part of molecular signature tumor. We determine that an intra-tumor microbial gene abundance score, namely M-score, separates high COG-risk into two...
The mobile IP protocol has been designed to address the problem of roaming between networks. However, as nodes moves networks, signaling overhead causes significant disruption real time data traffic. localized mobility management (LMM) proposed enhance handoff performance networks within same domain. By introducing concept local agent (LMA), a node visiting foreign domain is exempted from sending frequent update its home and correspondent nodes, when movement limited visited As multiple LMAs...
Traffic-sign detection and recognition (TSDR) is crucial to avoiding harm pedestrians, especially children, from intelligent connected vehicles has become a research hotspot.

Abstract A synthesized cationic reagent named polyamide‐epichlorohydrin (PAE) was used to cationize cotton fabrics which were dyed with nanoscale pigments after PAE modification. The results showed that when the concentration below 7% (owf), K/S value increased nearly linearly increasing of concentration, and excess did not increase further. With pH cationization bath, first then decreased, maximum appeared at 9–10. Cotton cationized 80°C for 20 min exhibited best cationizing result. Both...
