针对当前网络上存在着大量的重复或近似重复的视频问题,提出了一种基于镜头层比较和位置敏感哈希的快速准确的网络视频重复检测方法。通过视频间匹配的镜头数占查询视频总镜头数的比例来判断视频的相似性。除此之外,还利用著名的近似最近邻查找技术——LSH在镜头层来快速查找相似镜头,从而提高检测速度。通过将镜头作为检索单元,把数据库中所有视频的镜头放到一起构建一个新的数据集,将种子(查询)视频的每一个镜头作为一个查询请求,应用基于LSH的近似近邻检索方法,检索出与查询镜头相匹配的所有镜头,最后融合这些返回的结果,得到查询视频的重复或者近似重复的视频集。通过在包含12 790个视频的CC_WEB_VIDEO数据集上的实验结果表明,该方法取得了相比已有方法更好的检测性能。

针对近重复视频的FD-means聚类清洗算法

近几年,随着视频数据规模的不断增加,近重复视频数据不断涌现,视频的数据质量问题越来越突出。通过近重复视频清洗方法,有助于提高视频集的数据质量。然而,目前针对近重复视频清洗问题的研究较少,主要集中于近重复视频检索等方面的研究。现有研究方法尽管可以有效识别近重复视频,但较难在保证数据完整性的前提下,自动清洗近重复视频数据,以便改善视频数据质量。为解决上述问题,提出一种融合VGG-16深度网络与FD-means（feature distance-means）聚类的近重复视频清洗方法。该方法借助MOG2模型和中值滤波算法对视频进行背景分割和前景降噪;利用VGG-16深度网络模型提取视频的深度空间特征;构建一种新的FD-means聚类算法模型,通过迭代产生的近重复视频簇,更新簇类中心点,并最终删除簇中中心点之外的近重复视频数据。实验结果表明,该方法能够有效解决近重复视频数据清洗问题,改善视频的数据质量。     

基于多层核心集凝聚思想的视频关键帧提取

关键帧提取是视频检索的一项关键技术。针对传统的关键帧提取算法准确度低,视频检索的查全率和查准率不高的问题,提出一种基于多层核心凝聚思想的视频关键帧提取算法。首先,对文献[1]提出的多层核心集凝聚算法(MULCA)进行研究,并利用K-medoids算法用真实数据作为聚类中心的特性,对MULCA算法的凝聚粗化和凝聚细化两个重要过程进行改进,用其替代原粗化过程得到的顶层核心集,设计了一种新的多层核心集凝聚算法(IMULCA),实现了顶层核心集的快速准确定位,并可适当减少凝聚层数,简化了算法的计算复杂性。然后,将IMULCA算法应用到视频关键帧提取中,实验结果表明所提改进算法相对于原有算法能够更加有效地对视频关键帧进行提取。

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
