High dynamic range (HDR) image generation and display technologies are becoming increasingly popular in various applications. A standard and commonly used approach to obtain an HDR image is the multiple exposures fusion technique which consists of combining multiple images of the same scene with varying exposure times. However, if the scene is not static during the sequence acquisition, moving ...

assessment of diversity and species richness in the understanding of ecosystem functions, protect and preserve genetic resources, evaluation and control of environmental change and the success or failure will help natural resource management programs. arbitrary banning livestock grazing program and one of the most common and perhaps the most degraded pastures and reduced the diversity and speci...

An overlay network called Range-key Skip Graph (RKSG) has been proposed that can perform range-to-range search on peer-topeer network. In this paper, we propose a large scale key-value store realized on RKSG, which is possible to scale-out a database with range query. Moreover, applications that utilize the store are implemented and will be demonstrated through private PlanetLab on JGN2plus.

Mobile phones and tablets are rapidly gaining significance as omnipresent image and video capture devices. In this context we present an algorithm that allows such devices to capture high dynamic range (HDR) video. The design of the algorithm was informed by a perceptual study that assesses the relative importance of motion and dynamic range. We found that ghosting artefacts are more visually d...

The 2006 paper Conjunctive, Subset, and Range Queries on Encrypted Data by Dan Boneh and Brent Waters addresses the problem of predicate evaluation on encrypted data in the public key setting – one that does not leak any additional information about the data. The authors provide both a security notion for such queries and an efficient construction based on the bilinear and 3-party composite Dif...

This paper introduces a novel area of research to the Image Forensic field; identifying High Dynamic Range (HDR) digital images. We create a test set of images that are a combination of HDR and standard images of similar scenes. We also propose a scheme to isolate fingerprints of the HDR-induced haloing artifact at “strong” edge positions, and present experimental results in extracting suitable...

this study sought to develop a decision support system (dss) for assisting range managers to detect range condition and make informed decisions about feridan county rangelands. all plant species frequencies were measured in 31 range sites with various grazing histories using step point method. four hundred points along four perpendiculars 30 meters transects were measured in each site and grazi...
