- Zusatztext
- <p><em>This book emphasizes that</em><em>artificial</em> or<em>pseudo-populations</em> play an important role in statistical surveys from finite universes in two manners: firstly, the concept of pseudo-populations may substantially improve users understanding of various aspects in the sampling theory and survey methodology; an example of this scenario is the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. Secondly, statistical procedures exist in which pseudo-populations&nbsp;actually have to be generated. An example of such a scenario can be found in simulation studies in the field of survey sampling, where close-to-reality pseudo-populations are generated from known sample and population data to form the basis for the simulation process.</p><p></p><p>The chapters focus on estimation methods, sampling techniques, nonresponse, questioning designs and statistical disclosure control<b>.</b></p>This book is a valuable reference in understanding the importance of the pseudo-population&nbsp;concept andapplying it in teaching and research.<p></p>
- Kurztext
- This book explores multimedia applications that emerged from computer vision and machine learning technologies. These state-of-the-art applications include MPEG-7, interactive multimedia retrieval, multimodal fusion, annotation, and database re-ranking. The application-oriented approach maximizes reader understanding of this complex field. Established researchers explain the latest developments in multimedia database technology and offer a glimpse of future technologies. The authors emphasize the crucial role of innovation, inspiring users to develop new applications in multimedia technologies such as mobile media, large scale image and video databases, news video and film, forensic image databases and gesture databases. With a strong focus on industrial applications along with an overview of research topics, Multimedia Database Retrieval: Technology and Applications is an indispensable guide for computer scientists, engineers and practitioners involved in the development and use of multimedia systems. It also serves as a secondary text or reference for advanced-level students interested in multimedia technologies.
