Complex distributed Internet services form the basis not only of e-commerce but increasingly of mission-critical networkbased applications. What is new is that the workload and in...
This paper presents the scatter search particle filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to real-time hands and face tracking. SSPF combines sequential Monte Carlo (particle fil...
This paper describes a novel color texture-based image retrieval system for the query of an image database to find similar images to a target image. The retrieval process involves...
We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
Abstract. Accurate and fine-grained prediction of future user location and geographical profile has interesting and promising applications including targeted content service, adv...
