The ability to store vast quantities of data and the emergence of high speed networking have led to intense interest in distributed data mining. However, privacy concerns, as well ...
The demand for more computational power in science and engineering has spurred the design and deployment of ever-growing cluster systems. Even though the individual components use...
Background subtraction (BS) is an efficient technique for detecting moving objects in video sequences. A simple BS process involves building a model of the background and extractin...
Two oft-cited file systems, the Fast File System (FFS) and the Log-Structured File System (LFS), adopt two sharply different update strategies—update-in-place and update-out-of-...
In this paper we present two contributions to improve accuracy and speed of an image search system based on bag-of-features: a contextual dissimilarity measure (CDM) and an effici...
