This paper presents a robust least median-of-squares (LMedS) estimate of the camera motion using motion vector field of P-frames in an MPEG video sequence. A simplified 4-parameter affine flow model is used to describe the camera global motion and the model parameters are estimated using an LMedS approach to minimise the influence of the outliers (due to object motion and wrongly predicted block motion vectors) in the MPEG motion vector field. The 0.5 breakdown point of the LMedS technique is mostly avoided in this paper by prefiltering of the motion vector field to discard wrongly predicted motion vectors. The result produced by the proposed technique shows a significant improvement in the estimation of the camera motion model parameters compared to those produced by the M-estimator technique.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116109502","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}

Two different misbehaving scenarios are investigated, namely cascade fixed prop + 2 group (CFP+2G) and cascade fixed prop + 2 group + multi-token (CFP+2G+MT). The objective is to evaluate the effect of some misbehaved users on the overall system performance. Numerical results show that the probability of success in reservation clearly degrades if some users do not follow the agreed rule.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122287468","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 technique that selects a minimum number of processes for recovery in the present work is simple and though the selection is on-line, it does not add any overhead. A process may however, be directly or even indirectly dependent on the faulty process and hence needs to recover. The initial tracking of dependence of a process on the faulty process is done by checking local variables. For maintaining consistency a process may have to rollback even if it is not directly dependent on the faulty process.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122534610","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 paper, we propose a novel approach using path conflict graph and an algorithm for finding edge disjoint paths (EDPs) as many as possible. And then we compare performance of the proposed algorithm with that of bounded greedy approach for EDP (BGA for EDP) algorithm.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122628158","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 use of preprocessing can often greatly improve the recognition performance. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of different preprocessing techniques using transient information for gas identification from sensor array signals. We compare the classification accuracy of three feature extraction techniques based on steady state value, transient intergrals and dynamic slope. It was found that the transient information plays a critical role in improving the classification performance. In addition the proposed dynamic slope feature extraction technique is hardware friendly which makes the prospect of building a smart gas sensor very promising.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122977774","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 face decomposition algorithm (FDA) that can tolerate one or more faults is proposed. From the results, we know that the maximum number of faults tolerated can be extended from one significantly under various network topologies.","PeriodicalId":434986,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004.","volume":"34 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114046475","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 is related to a specified static separation of duty constraint in order to prevent fraud of users. We analyze the result of RBAC and ERBAC03 models by a number of experiments based on users' locations. The result proves that the proposed ERBAC03 model eliminates the inaccuracy of access control administration that has incurred in the conventional RBAC model.
