Region-based image segmentation is an important preprocessing step for high-level computer vision tasks. This paper presents a novel approach to image partition into regions that reflect the objects in a scene. It explores the feasibility of utilizing Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and RIQ color feature of regions to improve the segmentation results produced by Recursive Shortest Spanning Tree (RSST) algorithm. Combination of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory is applied to the field of region merging. In the proposed algorithm, SVM is utilized as the identifier, and Basic Belief Assignment (BBA) function is constructed accordingly. Fused BBAs are obtained by applying the D-S evidence theory to the outputs of the identifiers. The experimental results show that the proposed method provides higher accuracy and stability when compared with the original RSST segmentation algorithm.

Demand for videos delivered through Internet increased rapidly in recent years. In order to reduce the workload for origin server and to increase the reliability of video delivered, a dedicated content delivery network (CDN) is needed. CDN, these days, could provide a reliable network to deliver videos, often representing the origin server, to serve clients' request. Request routing peering system usually are able to route clients' request to an “appropriate” server, named as surrogate server, within a CDN. However, due to the cost involved for setting up new surrogate server, as the number of client increases, herewith, peering of CDN is being introduced to increase the capacity and the coverage, i.e. collaborating with several CDN. Our idea is to re-route a request to other CDNs when the request for a video in a particular CDN could not be found. In this paper, we also analyze the performance of such request routing system which is based on two policies, namely; (1) closest surrogate server, and (2) workload balance, in order to re-route requests to a “suitable” surrogate server, thus, providing a stably high throughput with low error rate when delivering videos to clients. The simulation results show that closest surrogate server policy performed better during non-peak hour while workload balance policy performed better during peak hour.

Identification of cancer associated proteins is the crucial problem in cancer research. Recently various techniques have been developed to discover novel cancer genes/proteins. Topological network of protein-protein interaction with their gene ontology annotation are good predictors of cancer proteins.

Block diagonalization (BD) is a linear precoding technique for multiuser multi-input multi-output (MIMO) broadcast channel that sends multiple interference free data streams to different users in the same cell. In this paper, we investigated the capacity of a multiuser multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system employing the block diagonalization scheme in presence of spatial correlation. The optimized diagonalization technique with power allocation scheme is proposed and verified.

Instead of introducing new learning algorithm for solving complex classification tasks, many research groups in machine learning have focused on creating a good feature representation. In addition, labeled data is often difficult and expensive to obtain sufficiently large amount of data. So, learning features from unlabeled data is proposed since unlabeled data is much easier to obtain than the labeled data. In this work, a highlevel feature representation is created by a sparse autoencoder with convolutional extraction. A sparse autoencoder is an unsupervised feedforward neural network that is trained to predict the input itself and has been widely used for learning good feature representation. A major advantage of this feature extraction approach not only provides good feature representation for higherlevel tasks but also can scale up to large images. However, there are several parameters that require careful selection to obtain high performance. The main objective in this work is to present a detailed analysis on the effect of receptive field resolution in handwritten classification based on MNIST database. In the experiment, the results show that receptive field resolution is one of the critical parameters to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

According to tremendous demands of high spatial resolution images, the brilliant research efforts in the area of image resolution enhancement algorithms have been raised hence the simple and fast computational resolution enhancement algorithms have been very attracted in the modern digital devices such as smart phone, CCTV, digital camera, etc. Due to its performance and fast computational time, this paper empirically experimental investigates the performance of the single image super resolve reconstruction based on the high-frequency image prediction for up to 14 standard test images. This paper has three main contributions. The first contribution is an experimental comprehensive study of an optimal interpolation technique selection and an optimal number of gradient directions in single image super resolve reconstruction based on the high-frequency image prediction under a noiseless environment. Moreover, the study of optimal M0 parameter selection is computationally explored for this environment. The second contribution is a study of an experimental performance of the reconstruction under several blurred environments at different blurred variance. Moreover, the study of optimal M0 parameter selection is computationally analyzed for this blurred environment. Finally, the last contribution is a study of an experimental performance of the reconstruction under several noisy environments at different noise power levels and the study of the optimal M0 parameter selection is analyzed.

Cloud computing benefits software development by providing elastic resource pool and lower total IT investment; however there are still open issues such as security that we outsource data storage to third party without knowledge of where the data is actually stored, and software developed for particular cloud platform are technological lock-in which increase the cost of migration to other platform. This paper aims to solve these open issues by the proposed framework that serves as a runtime environment for development and execution of an enterprise application based on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). The framework aims to shield complexity in the software development on multi-cloud platforms by automates the process from design to deployment; and yet include mechanism to support the developer to adapt the application to deploy on different target cloud platforms. The framework is illustrated by given sample development of customer relationship management and billing software system.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most preferably used noninvasive test for diagnosis of cardiac rhythm. Irregular rhythm of heart beats is measured in terms of Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Analysis of HRV plays an important role in automated diagnosis of cardiac status. This paper deals with development of an embedded system suitable for real time HRV analysis. A low cost embedded system for monitoring an ECG has been developed using operational amplifiers and a Microchip's microcontroller. Digitized ECG has been transmitted serially to computer for real time analysis of HRV. Nonlinear energy associated with QRS complex is highest amongst the ECG beat. This feature has been utilized for QRS detection. Rest all the statistical markers for HRV are then computed with reference to the detected QRS. HRV analysis of 10 real subjects has been carried out using the embedded system. Results show that the proposed low cost embedded system is suitable for real time HRV analysis.
