Its model parameters are determined, using an EM algorithm, by maximizing the expectation of the joint distribution over the posterior for selected unlabeled data that are in a neighborhood of one of labeled data. Tests for two types of human behaviors such as (1) \"walk,\" and \"skip,\" and (2) \"drink a cup of tea,\" and \"wash a cup\" reveal that, using acceleration data as input, SSKLR classifies the behaviors better than semi-supervised Gaussian mixture and semi-supervised support vector machine models.","PeriodicalId":363743,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 4th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125481408","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 amount of gain by 128×128 Intra PU extension is roughly as half as that of 64×64 Intra PU of 0.18 % and 0.45 % for normal QPs and High QPs.

The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we propose a new key concept, burstiness, in measuring the contrast reduction. Second, there has not been a backlight control method that quantifies the image quality degradation in terms of contrast reduction, and optimizes it with power consumption. By considering the spatial distribution characteristic of contrast reduced pixels, the proposed method effectively captures the contrast reduction. This leads to a gain in the power saving in the backlight dimming while visual perception quality is maintained.","PeriodicalId":363743,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 4th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129190690","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}

In this framework, the depth image is transformed through divisive normalized bilateral filter (DNBL) and through padding in order to remove failure in the depth map. Furthermore, in order to reduce the computational complexity, in the filtering process, we employ blocks partition, where each non-overlapped block uses a different window size based on the detected edge information. The reformed depth map is then fed into the H.264/AVC encoder. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce the computational complexity while maintaining the performance.","PeriodicalId":363743,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 4th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132834195","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}
