In this paper we propose an innovative combination strategy for a system using video and audio stream of a news video to automatically segment it into stories. In our approach, the segmentation is performed in two steps: first, shots are classified by combining three different anchor shot detection algorithms using video information only. Then, the shot classification is improved by using a nov...

We investigate the injection of degenerate Fermi-Dirac electrons into a multimode ballistic conductor under the space-charge-limited regime. The nonequilibrium current fluctuations were found to be suppressed by both Coulomb and Fermi correlations. We show that the Fermi shot-noise-suppression factor is limited below by the value 2kBT/«F , where T is the temperature and «F the Fermi energy of t...

This paper presents our experiments on TRECVID workshop 2008. This year we participated in two challenging tasks, rushes video summarisation and video copy detection tasks. We studied a spatio-temporal video model to represent inter-frame correlation between two streams of video. The rushes summarisation task is aiming at creation of summaries with length not more than 2% of the original video....

the effect of an electroless ni-cu-p coating on the fatigue behavior of quenched and tempered ck45 steel has been investigated. the fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted in three different conditions of uncoated, as-deposited and shot peened prior to the coating deposition. the results indicate that plating of the base steel leads to a fatigue life reduction. the d...

shot peening applies a residual compressive stress field (rcsf) on the surface of parts. it also shifts “crack nucleation sites” to sub-surface locations. a nondestructive method of measuring the stresses, sin2ψ was utilized here and the stress values introduced to ansys software. for this purpose, uniform stress in all directions was applied on the con rod. loading on the rod in ansys had thre...

Background. Recent research has revealed the importance of psychological skills training and various physiological exercises to improve sporting performance. In light of all these facts, knowing that psychological skills training is necessary to improve sporting performance, and knowing the importance of the psychological performance program to develop these skills and ensure the control and st...

For the analysis of videos these videos should be divided into different shots, by determining the shot boundaries[12]. This division of the videos is termed as Video shot-boundary detection (VSBD), which is useful for various different purposes like editing, indexing, mixing, etc[5]. This detection ...

This article proposes a model for stock prices which incorporates shot-noise effects. This means, that sudden jumps in the stock price are allowed, but their effect may decline as time passes by. Our model is general enough to capture arbitrary effects of this type. Generalizing previous approaches to shot-noise we in particular allow the decay to be stochastic. This model describes an incomple...

main aspects: the first is the sub-shot detection, which is performed without a priori constraints on the number or length of the shots. The algorithm is based on color histograms and motion features, and employs fuzzy c-means with variable number of clusters. The second aspect is an in depth discussion on the annotation of summaries with the MPEG-7 standard. Results on mixed genres TV material...
