In this paper, we study covert communication in wireless networks consisting of a transmitter, Alice, an intended receiver, Bob, a warden, Willie, and a Poisson field of interferers. Bob and Willie are subject to uncertain shot noise due to the ambient signals from interferers in the network. With the aid of stochastic geometry, we analyze the throughput of the covert communication between Alic...

A quantum analysis of intensity fluctuations for the above-threshold parametric four-wave mixing in a cavity, driven by two laser fields, is presented. A new possibility for the reduction of quantum fluctuations below the shot-noise level in the sum of intensities of two cavity-output coupled beams at the driving field frequencies is predicted. The calculation of the corresponding interbeam sec...

In this paper, we discuss a new method for detecting anchor shots in broadcast news video. Our approach makes use of face information that includes the position, the size and the number of faces detected in the image frame. To alleviate the adverse effects caused by occasional face detection errors, we propose two new ideas based on multiple queries and zero face padding. Our experiments over T...

We consider a risk process Rt where the claim arrival process is a superposition of a homogeneous Poisson process and a Cox process with a Poisson shot noise intensity process, capturing the effect of sudden increases of the claim intensity due to external events. The distribution of the aggregate claim size is investigated under these assumptions. For both light-tailed and heavy-tailed claim s...

In this paper we present a novel algorithm for anchor shot detection (ASD). ASD is a fundamental step for segmenting news video into stories that is among key issues for achieving efficient treatment of news-based digital li-

Problems with few examples of a new class of objects prove challenging to most classifiers. One solution to is to reuse existing data through transfer methods such as one-shot learning or domain adaption. However these approaches require an explicit hand-authored or learned definition of how reuse can occur. We present an approach called conceptual expansion that learns how to reuse existing ma...

We discuss the diierent ways heavy tails can arise in shot noise models and possible applications of the latter to nancial modeling.

This paper describes the LIG participation to the MediaEval 2013 Affect Task on violent scenes detection in Hollywood movies. We submitted four runs at the shot level for each subtasks: objective violent scenes detection and subjective violent scenes detection. Our four runs are: hierarchical fusion of descriptors and classifier combinations, the same with joint audio-visual words, and the same...

A recent theory is reviewed for the shot noise of coherent radiation propagating through a random medium. The Fano factor P/Ī (the ratio of the noise power and the mean transmitted current) is related to the scattering matrix of the medium. This is the optical analogue of Büttiker’s formula for electronic shot noise. Scattering by itself has no effect on the Fano factor, which remains equal to ...

abstract disease incidence and favorable condition on disease severity is evaluated. w. carpophilus isolated of infected orchards. for fungus overwintering method in buildup were carried out bud washing by centrifuge and spot culturing on nutrient mediums. evaluation of shot hole in different areas showed that cultivars response to this disease is fixed inside of a climate but it is differ in d...
