Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombining SURF and MSER along with Color Features for Image Retrieval System Based on Bag of Visual WordsHeba A. ElnemrContent-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has received an extensive attention from researchers due to the rapid growing and widespread of image databases. Despite the massive research efforts consumed for CBIR, the completely satisfactory results have not yet been attained. In this article, we offer a new CBIR technique that relies on extracting Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and Maximally Stable Extremal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 May 2016 · 7,704 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaximally Distant Codes Allocation Using Chemical Reaction Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization AlgorithmsTaisir Eldos, Waleed Nazih, Aws KananError correcting codes, also known as error controlling codes, are set of codes with redundancy that allows detecting errors. This is quite useful in transmitting data over a noisy channel or when retrieving data from a storage with possible physical defects. The idea is to use a set of code words that are maximally distant from each other, hence reducing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,000 accessesView PDF Cite
