Summary form only given. In this demo, we introduce a novel architecture of an engine for high performance multi-scale detection of objects in videos based on WaldBoost training algorithm. The key properties of the architecture include processing of streamed data and low resource consumption. We implemented the engine in FPGA and we show that it can process 640 × 480 pixel video streams at over 160 FPS without the need of external memory.

In this paper, we introduce a novel architecture of an engine for high performance multi-scale detection of objects in videos based on WaldBoost training algorithm. The key properties of the architecture include processing of streamed data and low resource consumption. We implemented the engine in FPGA and we show that it can process 640×480 pixel video streams at over 160 fps without the need of external memory. We evaluate the design on the face detection task, compare it to state of the art designs, and discuss its features and limitations.

Spatial selections are a ubiquitous concept in visualization. By localizing particular features, they can be analyzed and compared in different views. However, the semantics of such selections are often dependent on other parameter settings and it can be difficult to reconstruct them without additional information. In this paper, we present the concept of contextual snapshots as an effective means for managing spatial selections in visualized data. The selections are automatically associated with the context in which they have been created. Contextual snapshots can be also used as the basis for interactive integrated and linked views, which enable in-place investigation and comparison of multiple visual representations of data. Our approach is implemented as a flexible toolkit with well-defined interfaces for integration into existing systems. We demonstrate the power and generality of our techniques by applying them to several distinct scenarios such as the visualization of simulation data and the analysis of historical documents.

Human object extraction from infrared image has broad applications, and has become an active research area in image processing community. Combined with chaos differential evolution (CDE) algorithm and morphological operators, a novel infrared human target extraction method is proposed based on nonextensive fuzzy entropy. Firstly, the image was transformed into a fuzzy domain by fuzzy membership function, and the image nonextensive fuzzy entropy was constructed. Then, the image was segmented by thresholding based on the maximum entropy principle and the pseudoadditivity rule of nonextensive entropy. In order to reduce the search time of optimal threshold selection, the CDE algorithm was presented. Finally, the object was extracted using morphological operators to denoise, fill cavity on the threshold segmented image. Experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient and requires less computation time.

This paper introduces a novel classification method termed Alternating Decision Forests (ADFs), which formulates the training of Random Forests explicitly as a global loss minimization problem. During training, the losses are minimized via keeping an adaptive weight distribution over the training samples, similar to Boosting methods. In order to keep the method as flexible and general as possible, we adopt the principle of employing gradient descent in function space, which allows to minimize arbitrary losses. Contrary to Boosted Trees, in our method the loss minimization is an inherent part of the tree growing process, thus allowing to keep the benefits of common Random Forests, such as, parallel processing. We derive the new classifier and give a discussion and evaluation on standard machine learning data sets. Furthermore, we show how ADFs can be easily integrated into an object detection application. Compared to both, standard Random Forests and Boosted Trees, ADFs give better performance in our experiments, while yielding more compact models in terms of tree depth.

This paper presents a method that takes advantage of powerful graphics hardware to obtain fully affine-invariant image feature detection and matching. The chosen approach is the accurate, but also very computationally expensive, ASIFT algorithm. We have created a CUDA version of this algorithm that is up to 70 times faster than the original implementation, while keeping the algorithm's accuracy close to that of ASIFT. It's matching performance is therefore much better than that of other non-fully affine-invariant algorithms. Also, this approach was adapted to fit the multi-GPU paradigm in order to assess the acceleration potential from modern GPU clusters.

This paper introduces a novel method for categorical image labeling, where each pixel is uniquely assigned to one of a set of unordered, discrete labels. Starting from provided label-depending pixel likelihoods we (a) exploit a segment hierarchy as spatial support to define powerful priors and (b) introduce an efficient and effective inference method, that can be implemented in a few lines of code. Experiments show that competitive labeling accuracy compared to related discrete, continuous, segmentation and filtering approaches is achieved.

In this paper we describe the design, development, formative evaluation and initial findings of one level of a serious game whose objective is to teach Information Assurance concepts to undergraduate students in introductory programming courses. The game level focuses on the concept of 'operator precedence'. The player travels through a multilevel 3- dimensional maze and at each junction in the maze he/she is required to solve a mathematical problem that involves the application of operator precedence rules. A correct answer allows the player to move closer to the maze exit, an incorrect solution moves the player farther from the end of the maze. Initial findings from a formative study with a group of 14 undergraduate students show that the game level is usable, engaging and useful for learning/reviewing the intended programming concept.
