    Gesture Recognition using Viola Jones Framework and Contour Detection
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Karthik, S.; Ramesh, K.; Prakash, S.B.; Murthy, Y.V.S.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    The work in this paper suggests a method to recognize gestures of a hand using the approaches of contour detection and Viola Jones framework. At initial stage, hand detection algorithm has been applied to detect the hand using machine learning approach. Later, the methods of contour detection and convex hull are considered for gesture recognition. The system has been trained with variety of gestures and hands with different hand positions. © INDIACom-2017.

    SemAcSearch: A semantically modeled academic search engine
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Doshi, R.K.; Karthik, S.; Kamath S․, S.S.
    Scholarly article search is a new vertical search paradigm that has gained popularity fast, due in part to the large volumes of research output from universities across the globe. The ranking given to scholarly articles on a search engine's result page is a significant factor in determining its citation rate and audience. A higher Search Engine(SE) rank can help in garnering more reads and possibly more citations for an article, while a lower rank can actually hinder the perceived value of an article from the users' perspective. Hence, searching academic journals and scholarly articles may need special consideration to other factors, beyond the keyword search and context-based querying strategies adopted by most conventional search engines. Academic search engine optimization (ASEO) is a crucial requirement for search engines dealing with scholarly articles. In this paper, we present a specialized, vertical search engine focusing on journal and scholarly article search, that considers context and semantics of the query and articles in computing the overall ranking of publications. Using this, the effectiveness of various ranking algorithms in determining the rank of individual articles was explored and their performance compared. © 2017 IEEE.
