Accurate detecting the boundaries of video events can effectively improve the user experience, and reduce the cost of video transmission. However, many existing works mainly focused on how to find the event, fewer on the determination of event boundary. In this work, we proposed an approach to determine the event boundary based on attack-defense transition analysis (ADTA) in soccer video. The main contributions of our work are as follows. A histogram based kickoff circle detection algorithm is proposed to facilitate the field zones partition. The proposed algorithm is fast and robust comparing with the existing methods. By the extracted mid-level features, the soccer playfield is divided into different zones, which imply different semantics in soccer game. Furthermore, the far view shot is segmented into sub-shots with captured zones, which benefit the highlight event and event boundary detection. The highlight events boundaries are accurately determined by attack-defense change points (ADCPs) detection combined with affection arousal curve. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128320165","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}

However, its clinical diagnostic value was limited because of big test-retest variability in SEP measurement. This study applied constrained second order based blind source separation (CSOB-BSS) algorithm to extract single trial SEP. This novel method provides a new measurement of trial-to trial latency variability (TTLV) of SEP. Ten healthy subjects and ten patients with cervical myelopathy (CM) at early stage were recruited in this study. Latency in averaging SEP did not show significant difference between healthy and CM. However, median SEP showed significant lower TTLV (4.9±1.6%) in healthy subjects in comparison with TTLV (10.8±1.0%) in CM (p<;0.05). To investigate the meaningful interpretation of TTLV, clinical measures of disease severity including modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) and transverse area ratio between spinal cord to canal in MRI were performed in CM patients. There is no correlation among TTLV, mJOA and MRI measurement. Results suggested the diagnostic value of TTLV to discriminate CM from healthy subjects in early stage, as well, TTLV provides different features in CM other than functional evaluation in mJOA and anatomic features in MRI.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"146 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128846475","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}

We start by introducing the 5G system level requirements and expected scenarios. 5G will be driven by supporting very heterogeneous service and device classes. A unified frame structure for handling those heterogeneous traffic types is presented. Multiple access for 5G will make use of strict synchronicity where it is justifiable and will drop it where signalling overhead and energy consumption will demand for. In order to serve this unified frame structure best, the choice of the underlying waveform is discussed. CP-OFDM has its limitations in spectral properties and in conjunction with relaxed time-frequency alignment. The most discussed contender so far is Filter-Bank based Multi-Carrier (FBMC), with better spectral properties but new drawbacks introduced by offset-QAM and long filter lengths. Hence, a new alternative is required: Universal-Filtered OFDM (UF-OFDM), also known as Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC), is a recent technology close to OFDM. UF-OFDM, according to encouraging results so far, summarized in this paper, fits best to the 5G system requirements. A further feature of the Unified Frame Structure is the usage of multiple signal layers. Here, users can be separated e.g. based on their interleavers, as done in Interleave-Division Multiple-Access (IDMA). This will introduce an additional degree of freedom for the system, improve robustness against crosstalk and helps to exploit the capacity of the multiple access channel (MAC). Altogether, the proposed new concepts offer an emboldening approach for dealing with the new challenges, faced by 5G wireless system designers.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122070584","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}

The main monopulse ratio after coherent integration is approximately the amplitude and phase weighted sum of all the instantaneous monopulse ratios, which may affect the azimuth estimation. In order to reduce this impact, a non-coherent integration monopulse model is established. Furthermore, based on the experimental data, a method using the amplitude and phase to calculate the azimuth error and its polarity respectively is proposed, which is verified for different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In addition, for the extreme case with low SNR, the azimuth output is set by the use of the two basic antenna beams, where the deviation is depicted to be less than the angle measurement precision.

This study introduces a novel approach based on motion feature extraction to provide a new descriptor for local muscle activities during the completion of pre-defined body movements.

Graph-based visual saliency maps are then employed in order to detect and discard outliers in image descriptors. By doing so, SIFT features lying in non-salient regions can be deleted. All the remaining reliable feature descriptors are divided into a number of subsets and partial vocabularies are extracted for each of them. The final vocabulary used in the BoW model is obtained by the concatenating the partial vocabularies. The resulting BoW representations are weighted using the TF-IDF scheme. Finally, the PLSA is employed to perform a probabilistic mixture decomposition of the weighted BoW representations. Query expansion is demonstrated to improve the retrieval quality.
