A novel machine learning model for perimeter intrusion detection using intrusion image dataset. by Shahneela Pitafi, Toni Anwar, I Dewa Made Widia, Zubair Sharif, Boonsit Yimwadsana

“…This model utilizes the pre-trained InceptionV3 for feature extraction on PID intrusion image dataset, followed by t-SNE for dimensionality reduction and subsequent clustering. When handling high-dimensional data, the existing Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm faces efficiency issues due to its complexity and varying densities. …”

Panoramic video coding based on spherical distortion with spatio-temporal dependency by Xu YANG, Ce ZHU, Hongwei GUO, Lei LUO

“…The planar coding distortion, which affects objective quality, and spherical distortion, which affects subjective quality, as well as existing independent rate-distortion optimization techniques that fail to consider the temporal propagation of spherical distortion and its impact on coding performance, result in coding performance degradation.To address these issues, a spatio-temporal dependent spherical distortion model was proposed for optimizing panoramic video coding.Firstly, a spatial mapping model was proposed to map spherical distortions to coding distortions, aiming to align subjective and objective quality assessments.Secondly, a temporal propagation model for spherical distortions was introduced to enhance the overall coding performance of all coding units in the propagation chain.Finally, the coding parameters were adjusted by computing the weights for spatial mapping and temporal propagation of spherical distortions.Experimental results demonstrate that, under low-delay encoding configurations, compared to the VTM14.0, a state-of-the-art video coding benchmark, the proposed algorithm achieves an average bitrate savings of 7.4% (up to 22.1%) and reduction in coding time of 9%.…”

Technics and Contingency by Alan Díaz Alva

“… This text aims to explore the relationship between technics and contingency within a context where computational technologies often have the effect of domesticating the latter, leading to its statistical reduction within the realm of the probable. I will argue that the post-prosthetic and non-correlational character of these technologies prompts us to pursue a line of inquiry that calls for a different understanding of contingency. …”
