Online Boosting tracking algorithm combined with occlusion sensing by Ya-wen WANG, Hong-chang CHEN, Shao-mei LI, Chao GAO

“…Online Boosting tracking algorithm combined with occlusion sensing was presented.In this method,occlusion sensor was introduced to check the tracking results,and classifier updating strategy was adjusted depending on the occlusion checking results.By this way,the feature pool of the classifier can be kept pure,which will improve the tracking robustness under occlusion.Experimental results show that compared with traditional Boosting tracking algorithm,improved algorithm can solve the problem of occlusion very well.…”

Research on new kind of parallel packet switch based on CICQ by REN Tao, LAN Ju-long, HU Hong-chao, CHENG Dong-nian

“…A distributed CICQ based DiffServ supporting parallel packet switch（CDPPS） was proposed.By using multiple low speed switches to construct parallel packet switch,CDPPS made it possible to construct DiffServ supporting scheduling scheme in high speed environment.Because CICQ could be used as central plane without any modification,CDPPS increased the efficiency of existing resources.As a result of using distributed scheduling algorithm,CDPPS eliminates the communication overhead,and reduces the hardware implementation complexity.Theoretic analysis and simulation results show that CDPPS can provide satisfying QoS for different traffic classes.…”

Resources scheduling and cooperative management of space-based information networks by Rui WANG, Xiao-dong HAN, Chao WANG, Xi ZHOU, Jun LONG

“…Along with the expansion of the range and space of space-based information networks,and the enhancement of network cognitive ability,real-time,reliability and safety were needed to satisfy higher requirements.The demands of space-based information network designing referred to different platforms and users,random access in anytime,heterogeneous network architecture,cooperative management of different type of resource,and so on.Space-based network operation had the characteristic of high-dynamic,multi-type and big data.The realization of efficient resource management was discussed,and the analysis of multiple dimensions to objects in space-based information networks was realized,the design of dynamic space-based resource virtualization was further mentioned,scheduling and cooperative management was mentioned.…”

Study on shared key management scheme for WSN based on LEACH protocol by Min FAN, Jue JIANG, Lin TANG, Mo-ran QIU, Chao LI

“…In order to achieve transmission safety,nodes longer life and higher operation efficiency for the hierar-chical wireless sensor network,a shared secret key management scheme for WSN based on LEACH protocol was proposed.The scheme has good integrity and timeliness,dynamic key safety,node security independence and key survival,and also has the ability to resist the man-in-the-middle attack,DDoS attacks and so on.Furthermore,en-ergy consumption is lower to distribute shared key,and efficiency is higher to operate network.…”
