Present elevator control use button sensors to determine when and where to dispatch an elevator car, which don't use the number of passengers. In this paper, we analyze images from camera to detect how many persons waiting for the elevator or in an elevator. A novel framework is proposed for optimized elevator schedule. Extended Haar-like features and Adaboost are used to train a head-shoulder classifier. Some images are selected from video according to elevator button callings to detect head-shoulder. To reduce false alarms a post process is added after detecting. Experimental results show the proposed method with post process has higher performance than existed methods. The information of passenger number can be send to elevator control system for effective schedule, which can reduce passengers waiting time and elevator's unnecessary stop, finally save energy and reduce maintain fee.

This paper presents a candidate-evaluation model (CEM) which interactively elicits user preferences and assists decision makers in decision making in applications such as travel itinerary planning. The CEM contrasts with traditional decision analytic and planning frameworks in which a complete user model is elicited beforehand or is constructed by a human expert. We used the CEM model to implement an Itinerary Selection Assistant (ISA) system, which helps tourists identify satisfactory travel itineraries. The ISA starts with fuzzy user preferences and gradually approximate the optimal solution through carefully choosing candidate solutions to present to the user and inferring user's actual preferences by analyzing user evaluations over the candidates.

This paper presents a novel rule selection model for statistical machine translation (SMT) that uses the maximum entropy approach to predict target-side for an ambiguous source-side. The maximum entropy based rule selection (MERS) model combines rich contextual information as features, thus can help SMT systems perform context-dependent rule selection. We incorporate the MERS model into two kinds of the state-of-the-art syntax-based SMT models: the hierarchical phrase-based model and the tree-to-string alignment template model. Experiments show that our approach achieves significant improvements over both the baseline systems.

Focused crawlers selectively retrieve Web documents that are relevant to a predefined set of topics. To intelligently make predictions and decisions about relevant URLs and web pages, different topic models have been introduced to represent topic-specific knowledge. Yet it is difficult to support semantic interoperability among different models. Moreover, some manually specified additional semantic information, such as semantic markups and social annotations, could not be effectively used to improve crawling. This paper proposes to boost focused crawling with four kinds of semantic models and semantic information, including thesauruses, categories, ontologies, and folksonomies. A statistical semantic association model is proposed to integrate different semantic models, represent heterogeneous semantic information, and support semantic relevance computation. A focused crawling framework is developed which adopts both keyword based contents and different kinds of additional information for relevance prediction and ranking. Experiments show that the proposed model and framework effectively integrates heterogeneous semantic information for focused crawling.

This paper introduced a novel high performance algorithm and VLSI architectures for achieving bit plane coding (BPC) in word level sequential and parallel mode. The proposed BPC algorithm adopts the techniques of coding pass prediction and parallel & pipeline to reduce the number of accessing memory and to increase the ability of concurrently processing of the system, where all the coefficient bits of a code block could be coded by only one scan. A new parallel bit plane architecture (PA) was proposed to achieve word-level sequential coding. Moreover, an efficient high-speed architecture (HA) was presented to achieve multi-word parallel coding. Compared to the state of the art, the proposed PA could reduce the hardware cost more efficiently, though the throughput retains one coefficient coded per clock. While the proposed HA could perform coding for 4 coefficients belonging to a stripe column at one intra-clock cycle, so that coding for an NxN code-block could be completed in approximate N2/4 intra-clock cycles. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed designs have high throughput rate with good performance in terms of speedup to cost, which can be good alternatives for low power applications.

Relevance ranking is a key to Web search in determining how results are retrieved and ordered. As keyword-based search does not guarantee relevance in meanings, semantic search has been put forward as an attractive and promising approach. Recently several kinds of semantic information have been adopted in search respectively, such as thesauruses, ontologies and semantic markups, as well as folksonomies and social annotations. However, although to integrate more semantics would logically generate better search results, search mechanism to fully adopt different kinds of semantic information is still in absence and to be researched. To these ends, an integrated semantic search mechanism is proposed to incorporate textual information and keyword search with heterogeneous semantic information and semantic search. A statistical based measurement of semantic relevance, defined as semantic probabilities, is introduced to integrate both keywords and four kinds of semantic information including thesauruses, categories, ontologies and folksonomies. It is calculated with all textual information and semantic information, and stored in a newly proposed index structure called semantic-keyword dual index. Based on this uniform measurement, the search mechanism is developed that fully utilizes existing keyword and semantic search mechanisms to enhance heterogeneous semantic search. Experiments show that the proposed approach can effectively integrate both keyword-based information and heterogeneous semantic information in search.

Semantic gap has become a bottleneck of content-based image retrieval. In order to bridge the gap and improve retrieval accuracy, a map from lower-level visual features to high-level semantics should be formulated. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on semantic mapping. Firstly, an image retrieval framework integrated with high-level semantics is presented. Secondly, image semantic description is introduced in two aspects: image content level-models and semantic representations. Thirdly, as the emphasis of this paper, semantic mapping approaches and techniques are investigated by classifying them into four main categories in terms of their characteristics. Various ideas and models proposed in these approaches are analyzed. In addition, advantages and limitations of each category are discussed. Finally, based on the state-of-the-art technology and the demand from real-world applications, several important issues related to semantic image retrieval are identified and some promising research directions are suggested.

3D visualization of large-scale virtual crowds is a very important and interesting problem in research fields of virtual reality. For reasons of efficiency and visual realism, it is very difficult to populate, animate and render large-scale virtual crowds with hundreds of thousand individually animated virtual characters in real-time applications;especially for the scene which has more than ten thousands of individuals with different shapes and motions. In this paper, an efficient method to visualize large-scale virtual crowds is presented. Firstly, using model variation technique, many different models can be derived from a small number of model templates. Secondly, the crowds can be animated individually by deforming a small number of elements in motion database. Thirdly, using a developed point sample rendering algorithm, large-scale crowds can be displayed in real-time. This method can be used to visualize different dynamic crowds which require both real-time efficiency and large number of virtual individuals support. Based on this work, an efficient and readily usable 3D visualization system is presented. It can provide very high visual realism for large crowds' visualization in interactive frame rates on a regular PC. The 3D visualization of 60000 people evacuating from a building is also realized in real-time based on the system.
