The widespread use of sensor networks presents revolutionary opportunities for life and environmental science applications. Many of these applications involve continuous queries that require the tracking, monitoring, and correlation of multi-sensor data that represent moving objects. We propose to answer these queries using a multi-way stream window join operator. This form of join over multise...

Cooperative multicast is an effective solution to address the bottleneck problem of single-hop broadcast in wireless networks. By incorporating with the random linear network coding technique, the existing schemes can reduce the retransmission overhead significantly. However, the receivers may incur large decoding delay and complexity due to the batch decoding scheme. In addition, the dependenc...

A window server used in real-time applications should be able to assure previously agreed-upon redrawing rates for a subset of windows while providing best-effort services to the remaining windows and operations such as moving windows. A window server used in embedded systems should be small and require only minimal operating system support, for example just threads and address spaces as provid...

Dual-filter estimators are described and tested for use in the annual estimation for national forest inventories. The dual-filter approach involves the use of a moving widow estimator in the first pass, which is used as input to Theil’s mixed estimator in the second pass. The moving window and dual-filter estimators are tested along with two other estimators in a sampling simulation of 152 simu...

The robot soccer game based complex motion control has been widely studied for the moving object capture and shooting. A position prediction algorithm based on global vision is introduced in order to improve the accuracy and robustness of the vision system for tracking moving objects, including a Kalmanfiter, a dynamic window and an obstacle avoidance strategy. This paper deals with the positon...

The large volume of video content generated each day has led to the need for efficient and effective methods of video indexing and retrieval. A common first step in indexing video content is to identify visually and semantically continuous segments or shots. In this paper, we present the moving query window approach to video shot boundary detection. This uses the techniques of queryby-example (...

Two moving-window methods, using either flat or Gaussian weighted windows, for local thresholding with Robust Automatic Threshold Selection are developed. The results show that fast segmentation of blood vessels against a varying background and noise is possible at modest computational cost. Volumes of 128 × 256 and 256 can be segmented in 3.1 s and 6.6 s, for flat, and 12.6 s and 30.8 s for Ga...
