Most existing approaches need embed a visual mark in the object's texture for camera pose estimation. However, a visual mark spoils the unity of the image. This paper introduces a novel pose estimation method using the spatial frequency domain analysis. In this method, the high frequency marker that is hard to distinguish is embedded in the image for pose estimation. We observe the spatial frequency change of the high frequency marker and infer the posture change of camera. The result shows that this method is feasible and flexible.","PeriodicalId":117185,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Information Science & Applications (ICISA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121469345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cloud computing tries to satisfy users' demands and provide services by sharing hardware and software resources. Therefore, using the virtualization technology to enhance system performance is an important goal. In practical, single cloud cannot provide unlimited services with limited physical resources. Therefore, this study proposes a vertical/horizontal resource scaling mechanism for federated clouds. When single virtual machine is unable to satisfy user requests, the proposed mechanism will allocate new resources in the federated clouds by vertical/horizontal scaling fashions. In general, horizontal scaling obtains more computing power by adding more virtual machines, and vertical scaling obtains more computing power by adding resources in the virtual machine. The vertical-scaling system not only enhances the system performance but also increases physics machine utilization. But the vertical- scaling system incurs the communication latency problem. Therefore, this study focuses on the vertical /horizontal scaling approach for reducing the minimum turnaround time and for improving the cost efficiency. Our study assessments the cloud computing capability by using cost efficiency (throughput/price per minute). Performance for NAS Parallel Benchmarks (for example, Parallel (EP), Conjugate Gradient (CG), Integer Sort (IS)) is evaluated. Experimental results show that our approach cloud reduce communication overhead and improve the resource utilization and throughput. Keywords - federated cloud, vertical scaling, horizontal scaling.","PeriodicalId":117185,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Information Science & Applications (ICISA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115193890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Risk factors identified from an epidemiological survey data as significant for UI, are utilized. The proposed Bayesian method combines an experimental design template with relevant information to construct a predictive index in terms of posterior probabilities. The computations are carried out on a longitudinal data called the Medical, Epidemiological and Social Aspects of Aging (MESA). The index is applied to the baseline and follow-up portions of the MESA data. The results show that, the percentage of the absolute relative change between the prior and posterior probabilities can be used as a decision tool to make conclusions on credibility of the class labels on continence and incontinence. The proposed index can be applied for immediate screening and for predicting future urinary incontinence in older women of comparable demographics as those presented in the MESA data.","PeriodicalId":117185,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Information Science & Applications (ICISA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128485393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a part of the available bandwidth is used for feedback collections from the users, it is highly important to decrease the feedback load so that most of the bandwidth is used for downlink data communication. We report here three novel scheduling techniques with decreased feedback load using unequal quantization of system parameters, and actual number of users in the highest slot sending feedback to the base station. System parameters, depending on the channel between the transmitter and users, are designed such that with unequal quantization a few users are always there in the highest slot. We consider the bandwidth available for data transfer is used for both sending feedback in the uplink and user data transmission in the downlink in parallel channels as spatially multiplexed mode in a rich scattering environment.","PeriodicalId":117185,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Information Science & Applications (ICISA)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131244550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the two, context-sensitive spelling errors are shown only when considering the meaning of the word in the given context and its syntactic relation, and they are the most difficult to correct among spelling errors. Context-sensitive spelling errors can be categorized into homophone errors, typographical errors, grammatical errors, and cross-word boundary errors. To correct context-sensitive spelling errors that occur due to typographical errors, this study proposes a statistical context-sensitive spelling check using inter-word semantic relation analysis. With confusion sets created in advance, we can find and correct context-sensitive spelling errors using reliability based on the conditional probability and chi-square statistics between each word of the confusion sets and the context as well as the typing error rate. As a result of applying the proposed method, all 5 confusion sets showed higher precision (92.68%) and recall (83.95%) than the baseline (precision 80%, recall 80%).","PeriodicalId":117185,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Information Science & Applications (ICISA)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114241538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although numerous focus measures have been recently proposed, less attention has been paid to the factors affecting them. In regard to FM, one such critical factor impacting SFF system applications is window size selection. In the paper in question, window size criteria for SFF systems have been formulated. The effect of change of imaging device parameters (such as image resolution, focal length of lens etc.) has also been analyzed.
