We present a novel approach for salient region extraction, and simple visual features bound to salient regions will better represent the video content in perceptual manner. Since perceptual saliency for visual information is a subjective concept, a class-related fuzzy information granulation is constructed for mapping original feature space to concepts space. To detect salient regions, segmented homogenous regions are classified according to their salient importance. The experimental results using different types of video sequences are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":268087,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129399304","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}

Most of the previous studies adopt an Apriori-like candidate itemsets generation-and-test approach, however, candidate itemsets generation is costly. In this study, we propose a new algorithm named ML_Pincer for discovering maximum frequent itemsets in multiple-level association rules. ML_Pincer algorithm combines the top-down and the bottom-up directions progressive deepening searching ideas, moreover, it uses two-way pruning tactic: the information which gathered in one direction can prune more candidate itemsets during the search in the other direction. It decreases candidate itemsets greatly and avoids making multiple passes over database, consequently, it reduces CPU time and I/O time remarkably. Experiments prove that ML_Pincer algorithm is more efficient than PMAM algorithm, especially when some maximum frequent itemsets are long.","PeriodicalId":268087,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131204443","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}

A digital image is a flexible medium used to carry a secret message because the slight modification of a cover image is hard to distinguish by human eyes.

Because the number of possible Sudoku solutions is very large, the proposed method is more secure than Mielikainen's method and Zhang and Wang's method. From the experimental results, the visual quality of stego images produced by the proposed method is higher than 44 dB in average, which is slightly less than that of related works; however, the embedding capacity of the proposed method is 1.5 bit per pixel, which is greater than that of the related works.","PeriodicalId":268087,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130921133","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}

Based on the improvements of furnace facilities, the size of a furnace has been enlarged remarkably. Recently, various studies have been undertaken to examine the inner furnace phenomena of a blast furnace. These studies are limited, however, to the evaluation of furnace performance while a design method of furnace control is left be developed. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate and control the temperature distribution in a reactor furnace by recurrent neural network (RNN) model for shorten the transient time. For the purpose, furnace data only near a furnace wall are used to control inner furnace temperature distribution to its targeted one. Initially, a simplified furnace simulation program for the calculation of inner furnace gas flow, pressure and temperature distribution is developed based on the precise furnace model studied before. Then, the simulator is used to estimate and control the inner furnace temperature distribution. In the estimation, boundary data such as temperatures and pressures, measured near a furnace wall, are used in the furnace simulation. Further, for the control of inner furnace temperature distribution, necessary values for gas blowing at the bottom of the furnace and the burden supply at the top of the furnace are determined. Both for the estimation and the control of the inner furnace temperature distribution, a RNN model for nonlinear dynamic temperature distribution control is proposed.","PeriodicalId":268087,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Innovative Computing Information and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131003496","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}
