Component Approach to Distributed Multiscale Simulations

A Novel Approach to Background Subtraction Using Visual Saliency Map

Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...

A Component-Based Approach for Realizing User-Centric Adaptive Systems

We discuss a generic architecture for building user-centric systems. The characteristic feature of such systems is a control loop that monitors the user’s state, and produces a harmonized response. In order to adaptively respond to changes of the user’s state, we propose an architecture with supervising loops. This allows the primary control loop to be written in a straight-forward way, and add...

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER

In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...

non-corrective approach to pronunciation

the aim of this study has been to find answers for the following questions: 1. what is the effect of immediate correction on students pronunciation errors? 2. what would be the effect of teaching the more rgular patterns of english pronunciation? 3. is there any significant difference between the two methods of dealing with pronuciation errore, i. e., correction and the teaching of the regular ...
