Video matching method based on "bag of words" by LI Yuan-ning1, LIU Ting1, JIANG Shu-qiang1, HUANG Qing-ming1

“…A "bag of words" was presented based method for video representation and matching.First,all local features of all video frames were quantized into a dictionary of visual words.Then each sub-shot of the video was represented by a set of visual words.Finally,a revered index of visual words was created to speed the matching process of video clips.This method not only takes local appearance and spatial information into account,but also compresses the representation of video content.Highly competitive experimental results show that our proposed method is more effective and efficient than former methods for video matching in large video dataset.…”

Secure communication approach for Internet of things based on C-RAN fronthaul compression by Yong WANG, Mu ZHOU, Zengshan TIAN, Jinjun WU

“…A resource allocation algorithm was proposed for downlink C-RAN secure communication system.This algorithm jointly optimized the parameters of base station (BS) mode,quantized noise and beamforming under the constraints of SINR requirements of Internet of things information receiver,eavesdropped receiver and fronthaul link capacity.Such a design was a non-convex optimization problem,and a step-by step optimization algorithm was proposed to decompose the original optimization problem efficiently.Semi-definite technique and function smoothing approach were adopted,and the local optimization solution of the original problem was obtained by the iterative different of convex method.Bi-section approach was further proposed to determine BS mode,and the transmitting power of the BSs were finally optimized.Simulation results indicate that the proposed joint optimization algorithm achieves better performance than group sparse optimization algorithm and baseline algorithm,and it has approximate optimal performance as the exhaustive search algorithm.…”
