Digital watermarks are usually embedded in the still images’ frequency domain. The DWT/DCT coefficients are usually modelled by the Generalized Gaussian Distribution, while the DFT coefficients are modelled by the Weibull Distribution. The idea of this paper is to use statistical properties of the host signal. The watermark is embedded through the modification of the distribution of host signal...

Multi-resolution schemes for 3D modeling from an input video sequence are becoming very popular. However, multi-resolution techniques may not be the best solution strategy in many scenarios and it is important to understand the characteristics of such algorithms. In this paper, we present a multiresolution structure from motion algorithm, using monocular video as input, that exploits the biline...

One approach to limiting disclosure risk in public-use microdata is to release multiply-imputed, partially synthetic data sets. These are data on actual respondents, but with con…dential data replaced by multiply-imputed synthetic values. A mis-speci…ed imputation model can invalidate inferences based on the partially synthetic data, because the imputation model determines the distribution of s...

In the paper D.Hoover, J. Keisler : Adapted probability distributions, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 286 (1984), 159–201 the notion of adapted distribution of two stochastic processes was introduced, which in a way represents the notion of equivalence of those processes. This very important property is hard to prove directly, so we continue the work of Keisler and Hoover in finding sufficient conditi...

uncertainty is undoubtedly an inevitable part of programming process. a lot of effective factors in the water resources’ performance are not deterministic while their values are surely needed for the design and implantation of water systems. since an optimal design of water distribution systems is in demand of a just evaluation of the costs, efficient operation of such systems calls for a prope...

OF THE DISSERTATION Unified Deterministic/Statistical Deformable Models for Cardiac Image Analysis by Sharath Kumar Gopal Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Demetri Terzopoulos, Chair This thesis proposes to fully automate the shape and motion reconstruction of non-rigid objects from visual information using a unified deterministic/sta...

This paper presents two classes of admission control schemes for embedded system applications that have real-time constraints but with composite characteristics in request arrivals and resource requirements. First, we present admission control tests using utilization demands to handle a mix of periodic and aperiodic tasks with deterministic execution times. The utilization demand is defined as ...
