Content-aware image retargeting is a technique that can flexibly display images with different aspect ratios and simultaneously preserve salient regions in images. Recently many image retargeting techniques have been proposed. To compare image quality by different retargeting methods fast and reliably, an objective metric simulating the human vision system (HVS) is presented in this paper. Diff...

We give upper and lower bounds for the order of the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian

E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: DEBOERW@CERNVM E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) the Higgs masses and LEP II production cross sections are calculated for a wide range of the parameter space. In addition, the parameter space restricted b...

Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...

The collection of k-closed subsets of X forms a topology, which contains the original topology of X (i.e. closed subsets are always k-closed). Notation 1.2. Let kX denote the space whose underlying set is that of X, but equipped with the topology of k-closed subsets of X. Because the k-topology contains the original topology on X, the identity function id : kX → X is continuous. Definition 1.3....

Real world datasets are sparse, dirty and contain hundreds of items. In such situations, discovering interesting rules (results) using traditional frequent itemset mining approach by specifying a user defined input support threshold is not appropriate. Since without any domain knowledge, setting support threshold small or large can output nothing or a large number of redundant uninteresting res...

This paper presents a real time approach to track the human body pose in the 3D space. For the buying behavior analysis, the camera is placed on the top of the shelves, above the customers. In this top view, the markerless tracking is harder. Hence, we use the depth cue provided by the kinect that gives discriminative features of the pose. We introduce a new 3D model that are fitted to these da...
