Most of the existing annotation methods rely on content-based approach to annotation, whose effectiveness is restricted due to the semantic gap between low-level features and semantic annotations, as well as the irrelevance between annotations and image content. Recently, social media analysis has been investigated for image annotation. Inspired by the abundant social diffusion records of images in online social networks, we propose a novel image annotation approach based on social diffusion analysis. We present a common-interest model to interpret social diffusion, i.e. different images have different social diffusion routes due to the preferences of users, and such preferences are represented as common interests of pairwise users rather than personalized interests. We propose an image annotation framework that consists of learning of common interests, feature extraction from social diffusion records, and automatic annotation by learning to rank. Experimental results on a real-world dataset show that our proposed approach outperforms content-based and user-preference-based annotation methods.","PeriodicalId":178700,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124649885","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}

Many efforts have been devoted to this area for years, and have introduced various kinds of effective models. However, those arithmetics are usually extremely complicated. Therefore, we in this paper propose a new RR Image-Signature (RRIS) induced IQA metric by estimating the similarity between the transformed images that are induced by the image signature. The main design principle of the proposed method is that the image signature can capture the main information of an image with very few features and computational cost. The proposed algorithm is tested and verified on four large-size image quality databases (TID2008, CSIQ, LIVE and CID2013). Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm over those competing full- and reduced-reference IQA methods.","PeriodicalId":178700,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128172509","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}

Within that market space, the environment as well as consumer behavior is changing very rapidly. In particular inside media houses various changes are taking place. One of these changes is the introduction or improvement of IT infrastructure to support business activities - in short, introducing or improving information systems and management in eMedia and creativity industry. In view a focus on advanced information management has a vital role of having a major impact in creating competitive advantage in media companies. In this respect, one of the biggest challenges is how to efficiently manage the ever changing massive amount of mostly unstructured and diverse data. This data consists of traditional business information (e.g. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM)), information directly related to media content (e.g. media information, metadata, content information), as well as consumer data (e.g. social media, customer databases). Traditional media companies will need to invest in latest IT technology which is able to manage flexibly, quickly and efficiently the large amounts of structured and unstructured data. On the other hand the challenge is to deliver structured data in form of business intelligence throughout the organizational levels, between business partners, and the complete media eco-system.

An attacker with the ability to modify the execution of software which deals with eHealth data can tamper with eHealth data. The target of IP is to protect the software assets; in this case it is to protect eHealth data. By modifying the binary source of an application, an attacker can produce a modified version of the application which can run in favor of the attacker objectives. Finally, if an attacker distributes the modified version of an application which deals with eHealth data, can harm eHealth environment (e.g., government agency) by disclosing the identity of the stake holders. The existing literatures (very few are disclosed and are available in academia) mainly focus on protection of tampering for static code of a software application. However, in practically, while an instance of software runs on unprotected memory environment, an attacker can launch dynamic modification of the running code and achieves the desired advantages. Therefore, the existing approaches do not tackle the tampering issues during the execution of a software application. The proposed research aims to explore this problem and proposes solutions based on a light-weight cryptographic methodology by generating secure cryptographic signature, which is a scrambled signature of a software application generated using cryptographic function and its security analysis has been investigated.","PeriodicalId":178700,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"42 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129934488","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}

It adopts coding tree structure, and implements partition and mode decision for each coding unit (CU) and prediction unit (PU). For intra coding, five levels of PUs from 64×64 to 4×4 should be searched and each PU selects one best mode from 35 candidate modes, which is very computation intensive. Therefore, reducing the number of levels for PUs, i.e., PU depth selection, is an efficient way to decrease intra coding complexity. In this paper, we fully investigate the relationship between the variances of different sizes of pixel blocks and the best partition of PUs. It is shown that 90th percentile of the variances distribution can be used to distinguish large PUs and small PUs. Furthermore, 16×16 PU search can be disabled for smooth area when variances of 64×64 pixel blocks are smaller than the 90th percentile of variances distribution of 64×64 PUs and this 90th percentile is smaller than an absolute threshold. Meanwhile, further split can be disabled if the variance of the current PU is smaller than 70th percentile of the variances of its parent-level PUs when the current PU is 16×16 or 8×8. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce 55% encoding time of reference encoder HM10.0 at all Intra setting on average with negligible coding performance loss less than 1.22% BD-Rate for HD or Ultra-HD videos.","PeriodicalId":178700,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128880301","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}

To improve the performance of the cloud gaming, a buffer status and content aware packet scheduling scheme is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, a buffer status estimation module is established to estimate the client buffer and playback information based on the feedback ACKs. The estimated buffer status information can be used to calculate the packet urgency and users' weights. By considering the packet priority, packet urgency and channel states, we define a novel utility function, based on which packet scheduling and RB assignment are jointly optimized. Furthermore, unlike the conventional segment request strategies, an adaptive segment request scheme is also proposed based on the estimation of MAC queue and client buffer status. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can effectively improve the received video quality as well as the playback continuity.","PeriodicalId":178700,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo Workshops (ICMEW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130583265","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}
