There are a number of methods available for video copy detection. Some of the methods were employing the application of local and global descriptors which were found to be ineffective in detections involving complex transformations. In order to overcome the above specified inefficiency, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptor came into picture but was found to have a high computational...
The CO2 levels in the atmosphere serve as an indicator for global warming. The forecasts of CO2 levels that may be expected in the foreseeable future would help in formulating credible policies as well as plans towards a sustainable future. The objective of this paper is to analyse the time series of CO2 levels observed at Mauna Loa (Hawaii) using wavelet analysis and to develop a recursive forecasting...
This paper presents a bio-inspired, distributed control algorithm called TENTACLES for a group of radio robots to move, self-configure and maintain communication between some critical entities (such as humans, command centers, or other systems) in an unknown environment. The basic idea is to direct robots' explorative movements to grow ??tentacles?? from entities and establish links when tentacles...
This paper presents a Hopfield neural network approach for the problem of scheduling n jobs in a single machine to minimize total weighted tardiness. A binary encoding scheme is introduced to represent the solutions, together with a heuristic to decode. A 10-job problem is solved by sequencing the job using different methods viz. weighted shortest processing time (WSPT) rule, earliest due date (EDD)...
