Action Recognition Using The Motion Taxonomy, Maxat Alibayev
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In the last years, modern action recognition frameworks with deep architectures have achieved impressive results on the large-scale activity datasets. All state-of-the-art models share one common attribute: two-stream architectures. One deep model takes RGB frames, while the other model is fed with pre-computed optical flow vectors. The outputs of both models are combined to be used as a final probability distribution for the action classes. When comparing the results of individual models with the fused model, it is common to see that that latter method is more superior. Researchers explain that phenomena with the fact that optical flow vectors serve …

Computer Science and Engineering Senior Theses
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is a highly discussed network attack in Software Defined Networks. Attacks such as the Mirai Botnet threaten to compromise portion of large networks, including home users. Today, corporations secure their network using enterprise level software to protest their network from DDoS attacks . But their solutions are meant for large networks and depend on expensive hardware. There are few security solutions for home users and most are expensive or require a subscription for full protection. In this paper, we propose a new solution in the form of a plug and play device that will allow …

Quality-of-Services (QoS) is one of the most important requirements of cloud users. So, cloud providers continuously try to enhance cloud management tools to guarantee the required QoS and provide users the services with high quality. One of the most important management tools which play a vital role in enhancing QoS is scheduling. Scheduling is the process of assigning users’ tasks into available Virtual Machines (VMs). This paper presents a new task scheduling approach, called Online Potential Finish Time (OPFT), to enhance the cloud data-center broker, which is responsible for the scheduling process, and solve the QoS issue. The main idea …

Automatic Labeling Of Hidden Web Data Using Multi-Heuristics Annotator, Umamageswari Baskaran, R. Kalpana
Future Computing and Informatics Journal
Hidden web contains huge amount of high quality data which are not indexed to search engines. Hidden web refers to web pages which are generated dynamically by embedding backend data matching the search keywords, in server-side templates. They are created for human consumption and makes automated processing cumbersome since structured data is embedded within unstructured HTML tags. In order to enable machine processing, structured data must be detected, extracted and annotated. Many heuristic based approaches DeLa [1], MSAA [2] are available in the literature to perform automatic annotation. Most of these techniques fail if data values didn't contain labels present …

Future Computing and Informatics Journal
The successful implementation of customer relationship management (CRM) is not easy and seems to be a complex task. Almost about 70% of all CRM implementation projects fail to achieve their expected objectives. Therefore, most researchers and information systems developers concentrate on the critical success factors approach which can enhance the success of CRM implementation and turn the failure and drawbacks faced CRM into successful CRM systems adoption and implementation. In this paper, the number of the previous studies is reviewed to demonstrate the barriers behind this high failure rate. In addition, an extensive review is conducted in order to identify …

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into near tissues or invading the distant areas of the body. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too. Survival rate, recurrence detection and disease-free survival rate (DFS) are the main patient's outcome and prognosis measures. Breast cancer outcomes are vary among different stages of the disease. There are five stages of breast cancer named as 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Prognosis helps doctors to save patients' lives …

Breast cancer is one of the dreadful diseases that affect women globally. The occurrences of breast masses in the breast region are the main cause for women to develop a breast cancer. Early detection of breast mass will increase the survival rate of women and hence developing an automated system for detection of the breast masses will support radiologists for accurate diagnosis. In the pre-processing step, the images are pre-processed using Gaussian filtering. An automated detection method of breast masses is proposed using an optimized region growing technique where the initial seed points and thresholds are optimally generated using a …

Fuzzy Clustering Based Transition Region Extraction For Image Segmentation, Priyadarsan Parida
Future Computing and Informatics Journal
Transition region based approaches are recent hybrid segmentation techniques well known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Here, the segmentation effectiveness depends on robust extraction of transition regions. So, we have proposed clustering approach based transition region extraction method for image segmentation. The proposed method initially uses the local variance of the input image to get the variance feature image. Fuzzy C-means clustering is applied to the variance feature image to separate the transitional features from the feature image. Further, Otsu thresholding is applied to the transitional feature image to extract the transition region. For extracting the exact edge image, morphological …

Non-Sequential Partitioning Approaches To Decision Tree Classifier, Shankru Guggari, Vijayakumar Kadappa, V. Umadevi
Future Computing and Informatics Journal
Decision tree is a well-known classifier which is widely used in real-world applications. It is easy to interpret, however it suffers from instability and lower classification performance for high-dimensionality datasets due to curse of dimensionality. Feature set partitioning is a novel concept to address the higher dimensionality problem by dividing the feature set into subsets (blocks). Many of the existing partitioning based decision tree approaches are sequential in nature, which lack logical relationships amongst the features. In this work, we propose novel non-sequential feature set partitioning methods by exploiting the ideas of Ferrer Diagram and Bell Triangle to create feature …

Future Computing and Informatics Journal
Transition region based approaches are recent hybrid segmentation techniques well known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Here, the segmentation effectiveness depends on robust extraction of transition regions. So, we have proposed transition region extraction method for image segmentation. The proposed method initially decomposes the gray image in wavelet domain. Local standard deviation filtering and thresholding operation is used to extract transition region feature matrix. Using this feature matrix, the corresponding prominent wavelet coefficients of different bands are found. The inverse wavelet transform is then applied to the modified coefficients to get edge image with more than one-pixel width. Global thresholding …
