With the evolution of digital technologies over the years, solutions to record, store, and organize a lifetime of information and knowledge have become possible... However, the amount of information available to be stored and processed today is difficult to analyze and retrieve. To overcome this problem, a wide range of research fields can be explored, such as image and information retrieval, knowledge extraction, image understanding, sentiment analysis, and data mining just to name a few, which provide solutions to organize, process, and retrieve personal data. These personal data are also named as lifelogs and can be used as surrogate memory within a lifelogging system capable of organizing and managing these lifelogs... Therefore, the extraction of relevant information from personal lifelogs can be used to improve the quality of everyday life for people with memory problems or even used as a digital diary. 1, record 2, English, - lifelog

The first step in developing efficient and accurate algorithms for detecting skin in a hyperspectral image is understanding its reflectance properties. This article describes a simple model based on the layers and makeup of skin and how it absorbs and scatters light. Based on the insights gained from the modeled skin reflectance, we develop an efficient skin detection algorithm called the normalized difference skin index(NDSI), motivated by the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI). 2, record 6, English, - normalized%20difference%20skin%20index

In Hungary, the technique of infrared thermogrammetry (IR-TGM) in the field of radiation biology was first applied in 1984, when the authors published two case studies on a local radiation injury and suggested that both contact and IR-TGM were useful tools in detection of the areas of radiation injury. 2, record 10, English, - infrared%20thermogrammetry

Computerized evaluation of infrared images opens new vistas for infrared thermogrammetry(IR-TGM). While it extends our earlier knowledge regarding temperature field analysis, it requires deeper understanding of relations of thermal phenomena and also more intuitive thermo-technical skills for image processing. Examples from diverse areas, e. g. energy saving, thermal defectometry, electrotechnics, are quoted and practical applications of IR-TGM in thermal physics of buildings are discussed. 3, record 10, English, - infrared%20thermogrammetry
