Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVisual Tracking using Invariant Feature DescriptorLee-Yeng Ong, Siong-Hoe Lau, Voon-Chet KooThe process of identifying the state of an object in a video sequence is referred as visual tracking. It is mainly achieved by using the appearance information from a reference image to recognize the similar characteristics from the other images. Since a digital image is built-up with rows and columns of pixels that are represented with finite set of digital … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 21 Sep 2017 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Randomized Population Constructive Heuristic for the Team Orienteering ProblemManal ZettamThe NP-hard (complete) team orienteering problem is a particular vehicle routing problem with the aim of maximizing the profits gained from visiting control points without exceeding a travel cost limit. The team orienteering problem has a number of applications in several fields such as athlete recruiting, technician routing and tourist trip. Therefore, solving optimally the team orienteering problem would play … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 17 Jun 2017 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractional Lion Algorithm-An Optimization Algorithm for Data ClusteringSatish Chander, P. Vijaya, Praveen DhyaniClustering divides the data available as bulk into meaningful, useful groups (Clusters) without any prior knowledge about the data. Cluster analysis provides an abstraction from individual data objects to the clusters in which those objects reside. It is a key technique in the data mining and has become an important issue in many fields. This paper presents a novel Fractional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 12 Aug 2016 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVehicle Detection in Aerial Traffic MonitoringDmitry Sincha, Mikhail Chervonenkis, Pavel SkribtsovThis work describes a cascade detection of vehicles in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images and videos. There are some new approaches used in the detection. In particular, the Region of Interest (ROI) search is not only based on GIS and navigation data, but also employs visual method based on rapid image segmentation and road detection. The work also suggests doing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIT RATE MAXIMIZATION BY LOGICAL CACHE PARTITIONING IN A MULTI-CORE ENVIRONMENTS. Muthukumar, P. K. JawaharIt is imperative for any level of cache memory in a multi-core architecture to have a well defined, dynamic replacement algorithm in place to ensure consistent superlative performance. The most prevalently used LRU replacement policy does not acquaint itself dynamically to the changes in the workload. As a result, it can lead to sub-optimal performance for certain applications whose workloads … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2013 · 6,283 accessesView PDFCite

MehataEmbedded computing differs from general purpose computing in several aspects. In most embedded systems, size, cost and power consumption are more important than performance. In embedded System-on-Chips (SoC), memory is a scarce resource and it poses constraints on chip space, cost and power consumption. Whereas fixed instruction length feature of RISC architecture simplifies instruction decoding and pipeline implementation, its undesirable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 23 Nov 2013 · 6,825 accessesView PDFCite
