Quick Start Guide 2006-12-23 01:00:24 Perpetuum Software

In order to provide proper decision-making information must be easy to read and comprehend, focusing on business priorities and filtering out information that isn't relevant. There is a vast number of Business Intelligence solutions (such as Scorecards, KPIs, EIS applications and digital dashboards) offering a real-time and visual summary of the information with the help of comprehensible elements such as tables, charts and gauges. Usually, gauges are used in such applications to display critical real-time data. Gauges are specifically designed to convey real-time information in a quick, accurate and effective way. Instrumentation ModelKit provides a set of .NET components allowing developers to integrate gauges into various sophisticated visualization applications displaying real-time data.

Content Selection Based on Compositional Image Quality 2007-01-07 01:00:31 International Society for Optical Engineering

Digital publishing workflows usually have the need for composition and balance within the document, where certain photographs will have to be chosen according to the overall layout of the document it is going to be placed in. i.e., the composition within the photograph will have a relationship/balance with the rest of the document layout. This paper presents a novel image retrieval method, in which the document where the image is to be inserted is used as query. The algorithm calculates a balance measure between the document and each of the images in the collection, retrieving the ones that have a higher balance score.
