NEB in Analysis of Natural Image 8 × 8 and 9 × 9 High-contrast Patches
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
In this paper we use the nudged elastic band tech-nique from computational chemistry to investigate sampled high-dimensional data from a natural image database. We randomly sample 8 × 8 and 9 × 9 high-contrast patches of natural images and create a density estimator believed as a Morse function. By the Morse function we build one-dimensional cell complexes from the sampled data. Using one-dimensional cell complexes, we identify topological properties of 8 × 8 and 9 × 9 high-contrast natural image patches, we show that there exist two kinds of subsets of high-contrast 8 × 8 and 9 × 9 patches modeled as a circle, by the new method we confirm some results obtained through the method of computational topology.

Investigate the use of Anchor-Text and of Query-Document Similarity Scores to Predict the Performance of Search Engine
Query difficulty prediction aims to estimate, in advance, whether the answers returned by search engines in response to a query are likely to be useful. This paper proposes new predictors based upon the similarity betwee...
