Online recommender systems are useful for media asset management where they select the best content from a set of media assets. We are developing a recommender system called 360-MAM-Select for educational video content. 360-MAM-Select utilises sentiment analysis, emotion modeling and gamification techniques applied to people’s comments on videos, for the recommendation of media assets. Here, we...

This paper describes a system for structure-from-motion using vanishing points and three-dimensional lines extracted from omni-directional video sequences. Two novel aspects of this work are its deferred initialization of features using noisy observations from multiple, uncertain vantage points, and its use of dynamic programming for efficient 3D line tracking. We show preliminary results from ...

A separation method to be used for locating a set of weights, also known as a common set of weights (CSW), in the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is proposed in this work. To analyze the methods of finding the CSW, it is necessary to solve a particular form of a multiple objectives fractional linear programming problem (MOFP). One of the characteristics of this particular MOFP is that the decis...

To our best knowledge, this is the first quantitative study on the impact of the supplier‘s national culture on the client‘s choice of control modes in IS offshoring projects. A survey-based field study was conducted, using a client-supplier matched pair as the unit of analysis. This approach allowed for the examination of the direct control relationship within 46 unique matched pairs. The stud...

In this paper, we propose a recording system for a round-table meeting using microphone array as well as omnidirectional video camera. These equipments are located at the center of the table, and record all the activity during a meeting. They are also used for estimating the directions of speakers, and such data is exploited for reproducing the frontal image of the speaker from omnidirectional ...
