结合阴影抑制的混合高斯模型改进算法

混合高斯模型背景法作为运动目标检测的一种经典方法,已经广泛应用于智能视频监控系统中。但是,传统的混合高斯模型背景法容易将阴影误检测为运动目标的一部分。因此,针对该方法在区分阴影和运动目标方面的不足,提出了一种将混合高斯模型背景法和HSV空间阴影抑制相结合的运动目标检测算法。这种改进算法首先将颜色空间转换到HSV空间,初步提取运动目标,然后再利用阴影的灰度值比背景中的灰度值小,而前景的灰度值比背景中灰度值大的特性,检测出运动目标中的阴影。实验结果表明,这种改进的算法明显提高了检测效果,有效抑制了阴影对运动目标检测的干扰,算法实时性也较好。     

One-step implementation of a Toffoli gate of separated superconducting qubits via quantum Zeno dynamics

Based on the quantum Zeno dynamics, a scheme is presented to implement a Toffoli gate of three separated superconducting qubits (SQs) by one step. Three separated SQs are connected by two resonators. The scheme is insensitive to the resonator decay because the Zeno subspace does not include the state of the resonators being excited. Numerical simulations indicate that the scheme is robust to the fluctuation of the parameters and the Toffoli gate can be implemented with high fidelity.     

Practical chosen-ciphertext secure Hierarchical Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption

We focus on practical Hierarchical Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption (HIBBE) with semantic security against adaptively chosen-ciphertext attacks (CCA2) in the standard model. We achieve this goal in two steps. First, we propose a new HIBBE scheme that is secure against chosen-plaintext attacks (CPA). Compared with the existing HIBBE scheme that is built from composite-order bilinear groups, our construction is based on prime-order bilinear groups. The much better efficiency of group operations in prime-order bilinear groups makes our proposed HIBBE scheme more practical. Then, we convert it into a CCA2-secure scheme at the cost of a one-time signature. Instead of extending one user hierarchy in the Canetti–Halevi–Katz approach from CPA-secure (\(l+1\))-Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption [(\(l+1\))-HIBE] to CCA2-secure \(l\)-HIBE, our construction merely adds one on-the-fly dummy user in the basic scheme. We formally prove the security of these two schemes in the standard model. Comprehensive theoretical analyses and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HIBBE schemes achieve desirable performance.
