Spatio-temporal energy models for the Perception of Motion

by Edward H. Adelson, James R. Bergen - J. OPT. SOC. AM. A , 1985
"... A motion sequence may be represented as a single pattern in x-y-t space; a velocity of motion corresponds to a three-dimensional orientation in this space. Motion sinformation can be extracted by a system that responds to the oriented spatiotemporal energy. We discuss a class of models for human mot ..."

motion mechanisms in which the first stage consists of linear filters that are oriented in space-time and tuned in spatial frequency. The outputs of quadrature pairs of such filters are squared and summed to give a measure of motion energy. These responses are then fed into an opponent stage. Energy

Investigating the Energy Consumption of a Wireless Network Interface in an Ad Hoc Networking Environment

by Laura Marie Feeney, Martin Nilsson - In IEEE Infocom , 2001
"... Energy-aware design and evaluation of network protocols requires knowledge of the energy consumption behavior of actual wireless interfaces. But little practical information is available about the energy consumption behavior of well-known wireless network interfaces and device specifications do not ..."

This paper describes a series of experiments which obtained detailed measurements of the energy consumption of an IEEE 802.11 wireless network interface operating in an ad hoc networking environment. The data is presented as a

Performance of optical flow techniques

by J. L. Barron, D. J. Fleet, S. S. Beauchemin - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION , 1994
"... While different optical flow techniques continue to appear, there has been a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods. For a common set of real and synthetic image sequences, we report the results of a number of regularly cited optical flow techniques, including instances of differential, ..."

, matching, energy-based and phase-based methods. Our comparisons are primarily empirical, and concentrate on the accuracy, reliability and density of the velocity measurements; they show that performance can differ significantly among the techniques we implemented.

Medium Access Control with Coordinated Adaptive Sleeping for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Wei Ye, John Heidemann, Deborah Estrin - IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking , 2004
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."
Abstract - Cited by 702 (15 self) - Add to MetaCart
. The paper presents measurement results of S-MAC performance on a sample sensor node, the UC Berkeley Mote, and reveals fundamental tradeoffs on energy, latency and throughput. Results show that S-MAC obtains significant energy savings compared with an 802.11-like MAC without sleeping.

Unsupervised texture segmentation using Gabor filters

by Ani K. Jain, Farshid Farrokhnia - Pattern Recognition
"... We presenf a texture segmentation algorithm inspired by the multi-channel filtering theory for visual information processing in the early stages of human visual system. The channels are characterized by a bank of Gabor filters that nearly uniformly covers the spatial-frequency domain. We propose a s ..."

systematic filter selection scheme which is based on reconstruction of the input image from the filtered images. Texture features are obtained by subjecting each (selected) filtered image to a nonlinear transformation and computing a measure of “energy ” in a window around each pixel. An unsupervised square

An approach to correlate tandem mass spectral data of peptides with amino acid sequences in a protein database

by Jimmy K. Eng, Ashley L. Mccormack, John R. Yates - J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom , 1994
"... A method to correlate the uninterpreted tandem mass spectra of peptides produced under low energy (lo-50 eV) collision conditions with amino acid sequences in the Genpept database has been developed. In this method the protein database is searched to identify linear amino acid sequences within a mas ..."

Geodesic Active Contours

by Vicent Caselles, Ron Kimmel, Guillermo Sapiro , 1997
"... A novel scheme for the detection of object boundaries is presented. The technique is based on active contours evolving in time according to intrinsic geometric measures of the image. The evolving contours naturally split and merge, allowing the simultaneous detection of several objects and both in ..."

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: efficient protocols and outage behavior

by J. Nicholas Laneman, David N. C. Tse, Gregory W. Wornell - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2004
"... We develop and analyze low-complexity cooperative diversity protocols that combat fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks. The underlying techniques exploit space diversity available through cooperating terminals’ relaying signals for one another. We outline several strategies ..."

Energy Aware Routing for Low Energy Ad Hoc Sensor Networks

by Rahul C. Shah, Jan M. Rabaey , 2002
"... The recent interest in sensor networks has led to a number of routing schemes that use the limited resources available at sensor nodes more efficiently. These schemes typically try to find the minimum energy path to optimize energy usage at a node. In this paper we take the view that always using lo ..."
