There are available today many data storage devices that serve the diverse application requirements of the consumer, professional entertainment, and computer data processing industries. Storage technologies include semiconductors, several varieties of optical disk, optical tape, magnetic disk, and many varieties of magnetic tape. In some cases, devices are developed with specific characteristic...

Reconstructing 3D human pose and shape from monocular videos is a well-studied but challenging problem. Common challenges include occlusions, the inherent ambiguities in 2D to mapping computational complexity of video processing. Existing methods ignore reconstruction provide single deterministic estimate for pose. In order address these issues, we present Temporal Attention based Probabilistic...

In this paper, we introduce an Automatic Video Summarizing Tool (AVST) for a personal video recorder. The tool utilizes MPEG-7 visual descriptors to generate a video index for summary. The resulting index generates not only a preview of a movie but also allows nonlinear access with thumbnails. In addition, the index supports the searching of shot similar to a desired one within saved video sequ...

This paper presents a method of restoring video images taken from scratched 2-inch video tape. Because of the way that the video tracks are laid down, a scratch along this tape causes severe degradation. The paper adopts a detect and repair strategy, the detection being accomplished automatically with a rank order model-based approach that makes use of the EM algorithm. The detection is improve...

PARAVER (PARAllel Visualization and Events Representation) is a tool to visualize and analyze a parallel events trace le. PARAVER can be used in two diierent ways: Creating its own trace le in accordance with the PARAVER trace format, or using a modiied PVM library. PARAVER is based on a simple interface to manage several displaying windows. In fact, PARAVER can be seen like a tape recorder whe...

This study reports the first experimental exploration of possible contagious yawning in monkeys. Twenty-two stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides) were presented with video clips of either yawns or control mouth movements by conspecifics. At a group level, monkeys yawned significantly more often during and just after the yawn tape than the control tape. Supplementary analysis revealed that the y...
