With the increasing popularity of social network, more and more people tend to store and transmit information in visual format, such as image and video. However, the cost of this convenience brings about a shock to traditional video servers and expose them under the risk of overloading. Among the huge amount of online videos, there are quite a number of Near-Duplicate Videos (NDVs). Although many works have been proposed to detect NDVs, few researches are investigated to compress these NDVs in a more effective way than independent compression. In this work, we utilize the data redundancy of NDVs and propose a video coding method to jointly compress NDVs. In order to employ the proposed video coding method, a number of pre-processing functions are designed to explore the correlation of visual information among NDVs and to suit the video coding requirements. Experimental results verify that the proposed video coding method is able to effectively compress NDVs and thus save video data storage.

The compressed sensing (CS) theory makes sample rate relate to signal structure and content. CS samples and compresses the signal with far below Nyquist sampling frequency simultaneously. However, CS only considers the intra-signal correlations, without taking the correlations of the multi-signals into account. Distributed compressed sensing (DCS) is an extension of CS that takes advantage of both the inter- and intra-signal correlations, which is wildly used as a powerful method for the multi-signals sensing and compression in many fields. In this paper, the characteristics and related works of DCS are reviewed. The framework of DCS is introduced. As DCS's main portions, sparse representation, measurement matrix selection, and joint reconstruction are classified and summarized. The applications of DCS are also categorized and discussed. Finally, the conclusion remarks and the further research works are provided.

We attack the sensor network deployment problem. We define the deployment problem as the problem of deciding how many sensor nodes should be deployed in the sensor field over how many phases during its lifetime. We target the optimal deployment strategy that meets user-defined availability requirement with minimum total cost taking into consideration node failures and changing field trip to sensor node cost ratio. We model WSN availability and total cost as functions of the deployment plan, then, we formalize the deployment problem as a 2D optimization problem. Our modeling enables us to explore cost-benefit tradeoffs, we believe, this is a solid step toward bringing cost as an explicit dimension in the design space of WSN protocols. We compare the performance of the optimized solution (denoted as pro-active) to more ad-hoc solutions: on-demand and at-front. The former strategy schedules future deployments only on demand. The latter strategy deploys all nodes at front with no later field trips. Using extensive simulations, we show that proactive outperforms at-front and on-demand in terms of total cost per availability unit in all application scenarios. For example, using pro-active costs $7 compared to $40 and $280 per total uptime in case of on-demand and at-front, respectively.

One of the most promising advantages of Web service technology is the possibility of creating value-added services by combining existing ones. A major challenge is how to discover and select concrete service according to user requirements. This paper addresses the topic of service discovery composite Web services. The main feature is that we take the process model as well as service profile into account. Firstly, the process models of Web services are translated into Petri nets. Based on this, we propose a service matchmaking algorithm, via comparing the functionality compatibility and process consistency, thus leading to more accurate matchmaking.

Traffic forecasting plays a crucial role in intelligent transportation systems and finds application in various domains. Accurate traffic forecasting remains challenging due to the time-varying correlations within the data and the heterogeneous correlations between regions. Although various dynamic spatial-temporal graph models have been proposed to address these challenges in recent years, most of them are burdened by high computation costs and not intuitive to understand. In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal graph model, Spatial-Temporal Dynamic Graph Diffusion Convolutional Network (SDGDN) that provides an effective and efficient approach to traffic forecasting. From the perspective of traffic flow transition probabilities, SDGDN learns dynamic graph structures to capture the time-varying traffic transition relationships. Besides dynamic graph structures, static node features are employed in diffusion convolution to better capture heterogeneous regional features. Furthermore, we utilize temporal encoding and also generate varying graphs in each stacked layer to enhance the forecasting performance. Experiments results on five real-world datasets demonstrate that SDGDN outperforms most baseline models in terms of both performance and computation efficiency.

Recently, the deep neural network has achieved great performance in many areas. During analysis, all learned features are used at once, some of which could bring negative affect to specific classes. Recently, cognitive studies show that a human visual cognition process is hierarchical and dynamic, i.e., when meeting different targets, human brain intends to pay attention to different parts. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce this kind of mechanism into deep belief network (DBN) and propose a new general-to-specialized algorithm. Firstly, hierarchical knowledge networks are constructed based on the original learned DBN through pruning and retraining. Because these networks are learned for different discriminate ability, we call them as the general network and the specialized network separately. Secondly, a general-to-specialized analysis method is proposed which is proved theoretically. When predicting the class of an input sample, we select the corresponding specialized networks according to the preliminary analysis result and then make in-depth analysis. Experiments on four benchmark datasets are performed to test the proposed algorithm. The results show that our algorithm is feasible, valid and robust.

Central pattern generator (CPG) plays an important role in rhythmic activities of animals and this mechanism is an important inspiration source for the motion control of legged robots. In this paper, by using CPGs and function mapping mechanism, a high-efficiency distributed CPG control network is constructed to realize the locomotion control of biped NAO robot. To realize stable and coordinated locomotion, the parameters of the CPG network are evolved by multi-object genetic algorithm (MOGA). Simulations with Webots validate the feasibility and efficiency of the presented CPG-based control method.
