A Privacy-Preserving Framework for Large-ScaleContent-Based Information Retrieval Abstract?We propose a privacy protection framework for large-scale content-based information retrieval. It offers two layers of protection. First, robust hash values are used as queries to prevent revealing original content or features. Second, the client can choose to omit certain bits in a hash value to further increase…
A Probabilistic Approach for Color Correction in Image Mosaicking Applications Abstract?Image mosaicking applications require both geometrical and photometrical registrations between the images that compose the mosaic. This paper proposes a probabilistic color correction algorithm for correcting the photometrical disparities. First, the image to be color corrected is segmented into several regions using mean shift. Then,…
A Probabilistic Method for Image Enhancement With Simultaneous Illumination and Re?ectance Estimation Abstract?A Probabilistic Method for Image Enhancement With Simultaneous Illumination and Re?ectance Estimation. A new probabilistic method for image enhancement is presented based on a simultaneous estimation of illumination and re?ectance in the linear domain.We show that the linear domain model can better represent…
A Profit Maximization Scheme with Guaranteed Quality of Service in Cloud Computing Abstract? As an effective and ef?cient way to provide computing resources and services to customers on demand, cloud computing has become more and more popular. From cloud service providers? perspective, pro?t is one of the most important considerations, and it is mainly determined…
A Protocol for Evaluating Video Trackers Under Real-World Conditions Abstract?The absence of a commonly adopted performance evaluation framework is hampering advances in the design of effective video trackers. < Final Year Projects > In this paper, we present a single-score evaluation measure and a protocol to objectively compare trackers. The proposed measure evaluates tracking accuracy…
A Proxy-Based Approach to Continuous Location-Based Spatial Queries in Mobile Environments Abstract? Caching valid regions of spatial queries at mobile clients is effective in reducing the number of queries submitted by mobile clients and query load on the server. However, mobile clients suffer from longer waiting time for the server to compute valid regions. We…
A QoS-Oriented Distributed Routing Protocol for Hybrid Wireless Networks Abstract? A QoS-Oriented Distributed Routing Protocol for Hybrid Wireless Networks.As wireless communication gains popularity, significant research has been devoted to supporting real-time transmission with stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for wireless applications. At the same time, a wireless hybrid network that integrates a mobile wireless…
A Real-time Multi-User Face Unlock System via Fast Sparse Coding Approximation Abstract? A Real-time Multi-User Face Unlock System via Fast Sparse Coding Approximation. We propose a multi-user face unlock system based on fast sparse coding approximation. Different approximation techniques of sparse coding are compared for real-time processing and recognition rate. The system is capable of…
A Reconfigurable 5-to-14 bit SARADC for Battery-Powered Medical Instrumentation Abstract? In battery-powered medical instrumentation, the resolution and signal bandwidth of analog-to-digital converters < Final Year Projects 2016 > ADCs have to be adapted to the needs of the application to avoid power wastage. This paper presents a recon?gurable successive approximation register (SAR) ADC implemented in…
A Reduced – complexity MIMO Receiver via Channel Ordering Abstract?We consider the problem of maximum likelihood (ML) signal detection in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. We propose a new preprocessing algorithm in the form of channel ordering for sphere decoders. Numerical results show that this new channel ordering leads to significantly lower complexity (in…
