This paper presents a collaborative benchmark for region of interest (ROI) detection in images. ROI detection has many useful applications and many algorithms have been proposed to automatically detect ROIs. Unfortunately, due to the lack of benchmarks, these methods were often tested on small data sets that are not available to others, making fair comparisons of these methods difficult. Examples from many fields have shown that repeatable experiments using published benchmarks are crucial to the fast advancement of the fields. To fill the gap, this paper presents our design for a collaborative game, called Photoshoot, to collect human ROI annotations for constructing an ROI benchmark. Using this game, we have gathered a large number of annotations and fused them into aggregated ROI models. With these models, we are able to evaluate six ROI detection algorithms quantitatively.

Non Line of Sight (NLOS) channels are one of the major drawbacks for accurate ranging and localization with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. Whereas several proposals exist to detect these situations, a comprehensive overview, investigation and testing of these methods has to the authors' knowledge not yet been prepared. This paper tries to fill this gap with a classification of the algorithms proposed of the UWB and mobile phone community. In addition, one novel method based on the signal power variation is suggested. Afterwards, the methods are evaluated regarding their practicability for real UWB localization systems, which excludes some of them from further investigation. For the remaining algorithms thresholds are proposed, which are strived to be as independent of the system and environment as possible. Finally, the NLOS detection algorithms are tested and compared with both an UWB simulation environment and an UWB localization test bed.

Three detection algorithms used in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are described and compared. Synthetic and prerecorded human tachyarrhythmias were applied to algorithm simulations. As rhythm variability increased, the consistency of the result near detection zone boundaries fell and had different trends for each algorithm. For 456 prerecorded rhythms and fixed zones, VT-VF sensitivities were 96-97% and specificities were 83-85%.< >

Performance measures to compare QRS detection algorithms are suggested and evaluated. The measures are used to compare various linear and nonlinear filters and to determine optimal threshold levels. In low error cases the separation divergence is suggested as a performance measure. For single lead systems this measure becomes an F-ratio measure. A database of more than 2700 complexes is used. With this database several types of linear filters and nonlinear operators are compared and optimal threshold levels are determined.< >

Nowadays, social, natural, technological and information systems can be exhibited by complex networks having millions of nodes interconnected to each other. The extraction of comprehensive information from these massive networks call for computationally efficient methods. A promising approach to accomplish this task is to disintegrate the network into sub-units or communities and then using these identified communities to uncover relevant information. Thus, identifying communities in large scale networks plays a pivotal role in several scientific domains. In this paper, we extensively evaluate the functioning of two known algorithms and propose an improvement over one of them, in order to overcome its shortcomings to some extent, for optimal identification of community structure. We also present experimental results and evidences indicating that both the established algorithms, as well as our suggested approach, when applied to large social network datasets yields different results in terms of goodness and performance.

We have employed principles from change detection algorithms and statistical process control (SPC) to improve the estimation of the average of the round-trip time (RTT). Two mechanisms are proposed. The first is based on SPC principles. The other is based on an intuition derived from the log-likelihood ratio concept. Data employed to test the mechanisms are obtained by pinging several nodes on a campus network. Both methods improved the ability to track the change in the mean and take appropriate action

Many approaches in computer vision are based on point detection algorithms. In the literature, a wide variety of such algorithms are available. Therefore, it is an important task to evaluate existing and newly developed point detection algorithms. Up to now, this process was done by means of several methods. In this paper, we recall current point detection evaluation techniques, and motivated by their insufficiency for certain applications, we present a new application-oriented method which is based on distances between sets of points.

The tracking performance of the Gardner algorithm and the non data-aided early-late (/spl lambda/ = 1/2) algorithm are made almost jitter-free in the presence of additive white-Gaussian noise. For this purpose, the newly developed combined tracking and parallel search (CTAPS) method has been adopted. Computer simulations show that the optimised algorithms maintain the correct timing error under the conditions that the original algorithms lose tracking. Unlike the bit error rate (BER) performance which is unacceptably high at low to medium signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) when using the original algorithms, the BER performance of the optimised algorithms is close to the theoretical results. A superior tracking performance, a very fast acquisition time, and a low complexity are the features of the optimised algorithms.

In this paper, we propose the combination of different mass detection algorithms to increase overall mass detection sensitivity for various types of breast masses on mammograms. In particular, supervised and unsupervised mass detection algorithms are effectively combined to maximize complementary effects of both approaches. By combining the aforementioned mass detection algorithms, we can arrive at a combined mass detection approach that makes stronger and accurate detection results. Comparative experiments have been conducted on public mammogram data set. Our results show that the proposed detection system can considerably improve the mass detection sensitivity with relatively small number of false positives, compared to the implementation of using only a single detection solution.
