This paper presents a qualitative shape description scheme which has been defined in order to have a formal theory to allow the construction of new shapes from a set of given shapes by using a juxtaposition operation. Specifically, the qualitative shape description scheme defined is a pragmatic scheme since it has been defined in order to be...

A model for Qualitative Colour Description and Comparison (QCDC) is presented in this paper. Using Hue Saturation and Lightness colour space, qualitative colours are defined in general distinguishing rainbow colours, pale, light, dark colours and colours in the grey scale. The relational structure or the conceptual neighbourhood of our...

This editorial presents advances on Human-centred Ambient Intelligence applications which take into account cognitive issues when modelling users (i.e. stress, attention disorders), and learn users' activities/preferences and adapt to them (i.e. at home, driving a car). These papers also show AmI applications in health and education, which make...

A computational approach for comparing qualitative shape descriptions (QSDs) of objects within digital images is presented. First, the dissimilarity of qualitative features of shape is measured: (i) intuitively using conceptual neighborhood diagrams; and (ii) mathematically using interval distances. Then, a similarity measure between QSDs is...

An approach that provides a qualitative description of any image is presented in this paper. The main visual features (shape and colour) and the main spatial features (fixed orientation, relative orientation and topology) of each object within the image are described. This approach has been tested in two real scenarios that involve agents and...

This paper presents an approach for analysing food-porn images and their related comments published by the cooking school Getcookingcanada Instagram account. Our approach processes the published images to extract colour parameters, counts the number of likes, and also analyses the comments related to each publication. A dataset containing all...
