In this scenario, the use of high throughput workflow engines, enabling the management of complex data flows in production is rock solid, as demonstrated by the rise of recent tools as Parsl and DagOnStar. Nevertheless, the availability of dedicated computational resources, although mitigated by the use of cloud computing technologies, could be a remarkable limitation.

The idea of the approach is to analyze the difference image between noisy input image and the outcome of the denoising algorithm for the presence of structured data from the input image. The analysis consists of the calculation of the mutual information — a value that shows the ratio between the structured data and the noise. We apply the proposed method to photographic images, vector graphics images and to retinal images with modeled Gaussian noise with different parameters.","PeriodicalId":301876,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems (SITIS)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121165936","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}

Recent studies reported various statistical analysis that suggests tremendous growth in the energy consumption of data center operation. Accordingly, the CO2 emission footprint of data centers has reported a troubling increase in the past ten years, which is estimated to be the fastest growing CO2 footprint among different IT sectors. Therefore, in this research, we will present a holistic view of current technologies and solution strategies targeting sustainable virtual machines placement in virtualized data centers. Based on the presented literature analysis, we studied the advent and impact of virtualization strategies, the live migration algorithms, cloud computing model, and machine learning approaches on the management of data center for reducing energy consumption. Our findings suggest a steady increase in the complexity of the problem formulation with the advent of new technologies and a similar increase of the possible achievable optimization potential.","PeriodicalId":301876,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems (SITIS)","volume":"724 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132800823","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}

There are many dehazing methods: prior-based and data-driven methods. Prior-based methods tend to cause over-enhancement such as visual artifacts in the white regions. Data-driven methods cannot sometimes remove haze in the foreground completely. In this paper, we propose a method to suppress both over-enhancement and residual haze based on the dark channel prior (DCP). We use the clarity map as a texture feature and define the recovery level map that determines the amount of dehazing level. We use both the DCP and the recovery level map to estimate the scene transmission. As a result, our method suppresses both over-enhancement and residual haze compared with state-of-the-art dehazing methods.","PeriodicalId":301876,"journal":{"name":"2019 15th International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems (SITIS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134148015","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}

Inverse kinematics is an important parameter for the movement of joints from one location to end-effectors' position. During the movement to reach to the destination various errors will incur. Different evolutionary and metaheuristics have been proposed to solve the inverse kinematics solution with minimum errors. ABC and GWO are two novel metaheuristic techniques that are based on population. These algorithms are used to minimize the errors present in the inverse kinematics solution. Errors to be calculated are position error and absolute error. GWO takes less time than ABC algorithm during the iteration.
