Hand segmentation pipeline from depth map: an integrated approach of histogram threshold selection and shallow CNN classification by Zhengze Xu, Wenjun Zhang

“…We found that MINIMUM, MEAN and MEDIAN are effective ways to separate objects and the threshold in the valley between two maxima similar to MINIMUM algorithm with a minimum error. Then, each segmentation proposal is evaluated by a 3-layers shallow convolutional neural network (CNN) which is trained as a binary classification function to predict whether it is a partition of hand. …”

Temporal dependent rate-distortion optimization based on distortion backward propagation by Hongwei GUO, Ce ZHU, Xu YANG, Lei LUO

“…Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) is a crucial technique in block based hybrid video encoders.However, the widely used independent RDO is far from obtaining optimal coding performance.To improve the rate-distortion (R-D) performance of high efficiency video coding (HEVC), a temporal dependent RDO algorithm was proposed.Firstly, the formula to calculate temporal distortion propagation factor was derived by using an exponential R-D function.Then, the coding distortion and motion compensation predicted error were obtained by pre-encoding, and the temporal distortion propagation factor was estimated by using distortion backward propagation.Finally, the Lagrange multiplier and quantization parameter of coding tree unit were adaptively adjusted to optimize bit resources allocation.Experimental results show that compared with the original RDO method in HEVC under the low-delay configuration, the proposed algorithm achieves an average 4.4% bit rate reduction for all test sequences, and up to 13.0% bit rate reduction for test sequence BasketballDrill, at the same reconstructed video quality.…”

DPM-based method for tracking maneuvering targets in wireless sensor networks by LIN Jin-zhao1, LI Guo-jun2, ZHOU Xiao-na2, ZHOU Dao-jun 2, JIANG Yong 2

“…Focused on energy efficiency issues under tracking targets within WSN,a new dynamic power management（DPM） method for tracking distributed targets was proposed combining with the network energy consumption model and wake-up mechanism.With precedent location information of maneuvering target,the algorithm involved both cancelling noise by wavelet filter and predicting target state by autoregressive transformation is introduced to awaken wireless sensor nodes so that their sleep time is prolonged and energy consumption is reduced.According to the current location of maneuvering target,related nodes in an appointed cluster of WSN constitute a distributed dynamic tracking unit,and the cluster head is responsible for collecting the measurement information from the nodes in the tracking unit.A locating algorithm based on the relative posi-tion of two circulars formed on the bases of measurement information is adopted to simplify the process of locatiny and tracking target.Simulation results show that the DPM-based method can reduce the nodes’ energy consumption,meet the locating and tracking accuracy,and can be applied to locate and track the maneuvering targets on the earth surface.…”

Ecological niche modelling using MaxEnt for riparian species in a Mediterranean context by Jean Stephan, Melissa Korban

“…Despite their key environmental role, riparian tree and shrub species gained little attention in ecological niche modeling (ENM), especially in semi-arid environments.This study examines the performance of selected climatic, topographic, and geographic predictors in ENM of obligate and non-obligate riparian tree and shrub species in perennial and intermittent streams in the Mediterranean biome.MaxEnt algorithm was used for ENM. Three models were designed with different sets of predictors with cropped and non-cropped backgrounds around the riparian zone.The models generated different predicted distribution maps by species and compared them with the presence points of the studied species. …”
