Statistics of colour value of each pixel in the image are output in traditional colour histograms. Therefore, though the two same images photographed in different illuminations are consistent in colour content, they have different colour distributions in the histograms. To solve the problem, this paper introduces an illumination invariance colour index algorithm based on colour ratio. According to the colour constancy theory, although colour values of its pixels will be changed once the image is subject to illumination, colour ratios remain unchanged. Colour ratio refers to the ratio between two contiguous pixels. As per colour ratios, colour ratio image may be obtained, which depicts obvious boundaries or margins of the image content so that we statistics of colour ratio histogram can be obtained as an index mechanism to remove illumination effect. Verified by lots of tests, this method can extract useful colour characteristics and remove illumination effect, so that it can be practically used in effective computer recognition of objects in traffic videos.

Modern motor protection relays are capable of long term failure monitoring and diagnostics based on information collected by a powerful data acquisition system. This includes predicting life time of motors. This paper presents an advanced algorithm capable of performing such tasks. It is applicable to different types of rotating electric machines depending on their design. The components are: stator turn fault detection and rotor bar fault detection. Detection methods are based on calculating the cross coupled impedance and analyzing the current frequency signature of the motor. The presentation includes a theoretical background, simulated results and testing results performed on a particular physical model.

With the widespread use of mobile devices, the location-based service(LBS) applications become increasingly popular, which introduces the new security challenge to protect user's location privacy. On one hand, a user expects to report his own location as far as possible away from his real location to protect his location privacy. On the other hand, in order to obtain high quality of service(QoS), users are required to report their locations as accurate as possible. To achieve the dedicated tradeoff between privacy requirement and QoS requirement, we propose a novel approach based on cloaking technique. We also discuss the disadvantage of the traditional general system model and propose an improved model. The basic idea of our approach is to select a sub-area from the generated cloaking area as user's reported location. The sub-area may not contain a user's real location,which prevents an adversary from performing attack with side information. Specifically, by defining an objective function with a novel location privacy metric and a QoS metric, we are able to convert the privacy issue to an optimization problem. Then, location privacy metric and QoS metric are given. To reduce the complexity of the optimization, a heuristic algorithm is *** privacy-preserving analysis and comparison with related work [8], we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a major technique in the field of performance appraisal. In time to time numerous MCDM procedures are proposed to solve multi criteria problems. The different methods may provide different results on the same problem, which is the major fault of MCDM. To overcome this our proposed technique namely as Modified Group Decision Analysis (MGDA) plays the vital role. Indian Premier League (IPL) T-20 cricket tournament dataset is to be considered for applying MGDA. The assessment of the players by using four different MCDM techniques considered as an input of group decision method and the output produces the rank of the players. The result shows that proposed model yields more realistic way to judge the players and resolve deficiency of MCDM process.

The thriving growth in mobile consumer electronics makes energy efficiency in the embedded system design an important and recurring theme. Phase Change Memory (PCM) has shown its potential in replacing DRAM as the main memory option due to its (65%) reduced energy requirements. However, when considering the usage of PCM main memory, its write endurance becomes a critical issue, and wear leveling design is a common approach to resolve this issue. Even though the wear leveling design should stress operation efficiency and overhead reduction, existing wear leveling strategies designed for PCM main memory are usually dedicated to prolonging the lifetime of PCM. In this paper, we propose the perspective that, instead of valuing PCM lifetime exploitation as the first priority, we should turn to satisfy the product warranty period. To this end, further enhancement of operation efficiency and reduction of management overhead could be achieved. We thus propose a warranty-aware page management design to enhance the operation efficiency for managing the endurance issue in PCM. To show the effectiveness of the proposed design, we collected real traces on fiasco. OC by running SPEC2006 benchmarks with different write intensity workloads. The experiment results showed that our design reduced the overhead to one third of that of the state-of-the-art designs while still providing the same level of performance.

Sunspots are dark areas with respect to their surrounding area because the temperature of sunspot areas is lower than the average temperature of the solar surface. It provides essential information for many aspects of solar physics. A sunspot is composed of umbra and penumbra. It is a prerequisite for studying solar physics and spatial atmosphere to accurately segment and extract sunspot structures. Consequently, we propose an automated detection technique for segmenting and extracting them. The detection procedure is composed of two steps:(1) segmenting and extracting sunspot umbra with morphological reconstruction;(2) detecting and segmenting sunspot penumbra with region growing. For evaluating the accuracy of the detection procedure,we used a high-resolution observation obtained by Solar Optical Telescope onboard Hinode, and other obtained with the Dutch Open Telescope to illustrate the performance. The results demonstrate that our proposed technique is significant effective and accurate, and is suitable for studying the sunspot evolution and their physical phenomena.

Servers and network contribute about 60% to the total cost of data center in cloud computing. How to efficiently place virtual machines so that the cost can be saved as much as possible, while guaranteeing the quality of service plays a critical role in enhancing the competitiveness of service cloud provider. Considering the heterogeneous servers and the random property of multiple resources requirements of virtual machines, the problem is formulated as a multi-objective nonlinear programming in this paper. Virtual machine cluster with higher traffic is made staying together. This reduces the communication delay while saving the inter-server bandwidth consumption, especially the relatively scarce higher level bandwidth, by exploiting the topology information of data center. At the same time, statistic multiplex and newly defined “similarity” techniques are leveraged to consolidate virtual machines. The violation of resource capacity is kept at any designated minimal probability. Thus the quality of service will not be deteriorated while saving servers and network cost. An offline and an online algorithms are proposed to address this problem. Experiments compared with several baseline algorithms show the validity of the new algorithms: more cost is cut down at less computation effort.
