Using Mussel-Inspired Self-Organization and Account Proxies to Obfuscate Workload Ownership and Placement in Clouds Abstract?Recent research has provided evidence indicating how a malicious user could perform coresidence profiling and public-to-private IP mapping to target and exploit customers which share physical resources. The attacks rely on two steps: resource placement on the target?s physical machine and…
Vertical-Edge-Based Car-License-Plate Detection Method Abstract?proposes a fast method for car-license-plate detection (CLPD) and presents three main contributions. The first contribution is that we propose a fast vertical edge detection algorithm (VEDA) based on the contrast between the grayscale values< Final Year Projects >, which enhances the speed of the CLPD method. After binarizing the input…
ViDE: A Vision-Based Approach for Deep Web Data Extraction Abstract? Deep Web contents are accessed by queries submitted to Web databases and the returned data records are enwrapped in dynamically generated Web pages (they will be called deep Web pages in this paper). Extracting structured data from deep Web pages is a challenging problem due…
Video Inpainting Abstract? A framework for inpainting missing parts of a video sequence is presented. The first step in the algorithm consists of finding the geometrical flow of each frame in the video sequence by using the Bandelet transform. < Final Year Projects >Consequently, each frame is segmented into a quadtree where each dyadic square…
Video Object Tracking in the Compressed Domain Using Spatio-Temporal Markov Random Fields Abstract?Despite the recent progress in both pixel-domain and compressed-domain video object tracking, the need for a tracking framework with both reasonable accuracy and reasonable complexity still exists. This paper presents a method for tracking moving objects in H.264/AVC-compressed video sequences using a spatio-temporal…
VideoPuzzle: Descriptive One-Shot Video Composition Abstract?A large amount of short, single-shot videos are created by personal camcorder every day, such as the small video clips in family albums, and thus a solution for presenting and managing these video clips is highly desired. From the perspective of professionalism and artistry, long-take/shot video, also termed one-shot video,…
Virtual machine power measuring technique with bounded error in cloud environments Abstract? Virtual machine power measuring technique with bounded error in cloud environments. Several fields of science have traditionally demanded large-scale workflow support, which requires thousands of CPU cores or more. In this paper, we investigate ways to support these scientific workflows in a…
Visual Object Tracking Based on Local Steering Kernels and Color Histograms Abstract? we propose a visual object tracking framework, which employs an appearance-based representation of the target object, based on local steering kernel descriptors and color histogram information. This framework takes as input the region of the target object in the previous video frame and…
