HTTP adaptive streaming is being increasingly deployed by network content providers, such as Netflix and YouTube. By dividing video content into data chunks encoded at different bitrates, a client is able to request the appropriate bitrate for the segment to be played next based on the estimated network conditions. However, this can introduce a number of impairments, including compression artifacts...
In this paper, we propose a novel robust and efficient minutia-based fingerprint matching algorithm. There are two key contributions. First, we apply a set of global level minutia dependent features, i.e., the qualities that measure the reliabilities of the extracted minutiae and the area of overlapping regions between the query and template images of fingerprints. The implementation of these easy-to-get...
Because of the fast and convenient accessing to network, commodity management and selling with network has been widely applied to various kinds of industries. Accordingly to jewelry, which is different from other commodities, a jewelry management and sell system based on .NET MVC framework was designed and built on the visual studio 2010 development platform with SQL server 2008 express database in...
Facial appearance changes because uncontrolled variations of facial appearances due to illumination, pose, expression, occlusion of non-cooperative subjects and subject-to-camera distance need to be handled to allow for successful recognition. This paper presents a novel image quality assessment model. The model is designed to reduce the influence which is caused by the degradation of facial image...
Blind path identification with the help of RFID technology not only makes the blind can gain feelings of orientation during walking, but also has the knowledge of the exactly location of the street. The main idea is that when a blind man walking on the path which has electronic tags pre-built under the tile of the blind path, those tags activated by radio wave came from the RFID reader sent their...
Based on UDP and MFA, we propose a new unsupervised feature extraction algorithm, LMP (Local Marginal Projection), which is built on local quality. It measures the non-local quantities by the nearest sample between two locals. The goal of LMP is to find a projection that can maximize the distance of the sample in the same local and in different locals, in which case, the data can be projected into...
A new feature extraction method based on manifold learning is proposed for face recognition in the paper; its criterion function is characterized by maximizing the difference between the nonlocal scatter and the local scatter. The novel method is called two-directional two-dimensional marginal discriminant projection ((2D)2MDP), which simultaneously works image matrix in the row direction and in the...
This paper proposes a two-phase algorithm of image projection discriminant analysis. The new discriminant method is composed of feature extraction by on maximum margin criterion (MMC) and Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA). The algorithm includes two stages: firstly, the feature extraction based on maximum margin criterion (MMC) is employed to condense the dimension of image matrix; Then Fisher discriminant...
