Discovering Tendency Association between Objects with Relaxed Periodicity and Its Application in Seismology
Relaxed periodicity is proposed to describe loose-‘cyclic behavior of objects while allowing uneven stretch or shrink on time axis, limited noises, and inflation/deflation of attribute values. The techniques t...

A New Shot Boundary Detection Algorithm
Shot is often used as basic unit for both analyzing and indexing video. In this paper, we present an algorithm for automatic shot detection. In our algorithm, we use a ‘flash model’ and a ‘cut model’ to deal w...

Using Keyblock Statistics to Model Image Retrieval
Keyblock, which is a new framework we proposed for the content-based image retrieval, is a generalization of the text-based information retrieval technology in the image domain. In this framework, keyblocks, w...

On Selection of Paths for Multipath Routing
Multipath routing schemes distribute traffic among multiple paths instead of routing all the traffic along a single path. Two key questions that arise in multipath routing are how many paths are needed and how...

A Comparison of Shape Retrieval Using Fourier Descriptors and Short-Time Fourier Descriptors
Shape is one of the primary features in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Many shape representations and retrieval methods exist. However, most of those methods either do not well capture shape features or...
