The given key image is converted into gray scale image and after that a matrix is computed with gray scale values of the key image. Then we are collecting the diagonal k...

In view of the problems long matching time and high-dimension high-matching rate errors traditional scale-invariant feature transformation (SIFT) descriptors, this paper proposes an improved SIFT algorithm with added stability factor for image matching. First all, was increased during construction scale space to eliminate points unstable points, speed up processing reduce dimension amount calcu...

Systems that depend on matching often exhibit scale economies, whereby increased participation leads to improved performance for all users. This paper examines the presence of such increasing returns in carpool matching. Data from Scoop, a carpooling app, is used demonstrate this phenomenon across various markets using regression. As number requests certain market rises, share proposed matches ...

Beyond achieving higher compression efficiency over classical image codecs, deep is expected to be improved with additional side information, e.g., another from a different perspective of the same scene. To better utilize information under distributed scenario, existing method only implements patch matching at domain solve parallax problem caused by difference in viewing points. However, not ro...

The number of electric vehicles (EVs) and solar photovoltaic panels (PVs) are rapidly increasing in many power grids. An important emerging challenge is managing their less desirable consequences (e.g. grid instability and peak load), particularly urban environments. We present a solution that matches the temporal nature PV generation EV charging. This simple coordination strategy for chargi...
