Global View of the System

3 - 10 February 2005
Web Crawler

• Dealing with multithreading crawler
• Fish algorithm vs Shark algorithm

2 February 2005:
Investigate Multidimensional Access Method:

• Feature vector: Data object or metadata? (I gues, it is metadata)
• Bounding sphere/hypersphere, hypercube etc for multidimensional (n>3 data)
  
• Implementing SH Tree for 3D Similarity?

Linear Algebra Library:

• CLAPACK http://www.netlib.org/clapack/CLAPACK3-Windows.zip
• Matrix Template Library http://www.osl.iu.edu/research/mtl/

MTL does not work in MSVC 7.1.3*
CLAPACK is the result of converting "line by line" from Fortran to C :(. Impossible to understand form the C code.

29-31 January 2005:

Face Recognition System:

• Debugging original source code and modifying it (Matlab source code) in accordance with theoretical procedure
• Modifying FRS in MFC

Clustering Algorithm:

• K-Means

24 - 28 January 2005:
Interoperable Workspace on WWW

• Searching & Learning SMTP dan POP3 Library: Blat222, Pop3 Monitor, MimeSniffer, PJNSMPT, STunnel
• Building Simple Interoperable File Storage using gmail.com (function module: loading file)
  

17-23 January 2005
Paper writing:

• Writing paper "Self-Generating Similarity Evaluation"
• Investigate an eigenface algorithm -> there is a gap between theoritical procedure and source code

Eigenface Face Recogition

• Building face recognition using available eigenface database
• We use eigenface approach to extract the feature vector
• MFC and Matlab. I investigate that in this stage there is no need to store data in any RDMS'
  

Face Recognition (Determine the dirrection of research):

• Multiple feature face recognition or data-content based rule of classification? Still not clear!
  
• Searching the library for processing image to get eigenface
  

Face Recognition (Evaluate the feature vector):

• I come to the conclusion that left eye-right eye-nose, is too simple as a feature. Allthough there are some sites implementing such method, there is no enough information in Internet about the detail technique, and how is the result if there are so many faces
• Trying to move to other method: eigenface: investigate how it works
  
• Finding some eigenface database, converting to appropriate format
