CRF combined with ShapeBM shape priors for image labeling by Hao WANG, Lijun GUO, Yadong WANG, Rong ZHANG

“…Conditional random field (CRF) is a powerful model for image labeling,it is particularly well-suited to model local interactions among adjacent regions (e.g.superpixels).However,CRF doesn't consider the global constraint of objects.The overall shape of the object is used as a global constraint,the ShapeBM can be taken advantage of modeling the global shape of object,and then a new labeling model that combined the above two types of models was presented.The combination of CRF and ShapeBM was based on the superpixels,through the pooling technology was wed to establish the corresponding relationship between the CRF superpixel layer and the ShapeBM input layer.It enhanced the effectiveness of the combination of CRF and ShapeBM and improved the accuracy of the labeling.The experiments on the Penn-Fudan Pedestrians dataset and Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 dataset demonstrate that the model is more effective and efficient than others.…”

A general way to assign IPv6 trusted address under portal authentication by Jiang ZHOU, Hewu LI

“…As the network scale grows,it is especially important to fine-tune the network.In the next-generation Internet,embedding the user's trusted identity into the IPv6 address suffix to assign trusted addresses can further improve the traceability of network behavior.At present,many studies have attempted to embed the user’s identity information into IPv6 addresses based on portal authentication and DHCPv6,but the modification of DHCPv6 makes it not transparent to the terminal.A mechanism for trusted address assignment in IPv6 networks based on portal authentication was proposed.The collaboration between servers and software-defined networking (SDN) technology was used to realize the indirect assignment of IPv6 trusted addresses.Finally,a prototype system was implemented and its feasibility and performance were evaluated in the network of Nanjing Telecom in Jiangsu.The results show that the mechanism only brings little overhead and it is transparent to the terminal.…”

Block-based fair payment scheme under delegation computation by Ta LI, Youliang TIAN, Kang XIANG, Hongfeng GAO

“…In the traditional delegation computation,due to the self-interested behavior of both participants,there were some problems such as the denial of the principal and the dishonest calculation by the computing party.In the payment phase,a third party was required to ensure the fairness of the payment,which led to extra costs and risks of disclosure of participants' privacy.Game theory was used to analyze the Nash equilibrium solution between the two parties in the payment process,and a fair payment protocol based on time commitment of bitcoin was proposed.Firstly,the bitcoin time commitment technology was used to ensure the fairness of payment.Secondly,the decentralized feature of block chain was used to replace the third-party service to protect the privacy of all parties and realize the source of responsibility.Finally,the scheme was analyzed from the perspective of security and correctness,which proved that the participants choose behavioral strategies honestly in the payment process.The scheme proposed in this paper not only solved the problem of fair payment in traditional delegation computation,but also protected the privacy of participants.…”

“…The results indicate that competencies relating to designing and monitoring teaching activities are the most significant competencies at the beginning of their career, whereas the one related to use of technology is considered less important. Also questioned on their level of mastery, they consider being most comfortable in communicating clearly with the students and acting ethically. …”
