This paper investigates the quality considerations of real time access to multidimensional matrices. Researchers have emphasised the relationship between multidimensional matrices and data warehousing in the past; the multidimensional matrix concept may also be used to store real time

Abstract: Increasing availability of mobile devices with GPS receiver gives users the possibility to record and share a variety of location-based data, including GPS tracks. We describe a complete real-time system for acquisition, storage, querying, retrieval and visualization of GPS tracks

Abstract — As the frequency of attacks faced by the average host attached to the Internet increases, reliance on manual intervention for response is decreasingly tenable. Operating system and application based mechanisms for automated response to perceived threats will be necessitated. One possibility is the modification of the reference monitor of the operating system such that the choice about whether a right should be granted (that was previously made with a lookup of a static value), can instead be made by dynamically delegating the decision to code that is customized to the specific right and is able to use the context of the request to make a more informed choice. We describe such an Active Reference Monitor (ARM) and the associated changes in semantics of the security subsystem.

Collision avoidance is an important topic in multi-robot systems. Existing multi-robot pathfinding approaches ignore sideswipe collisions among robots (i.e., only consider the collision which two agents try to occupy the same node during the same time-step) [1, 3, 4], and allow diagonal move

This paper describes a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the “Integral Image ” which allows the features used by our detector to be computed very quickly. The second is a learning algorithm, based on AdaBoost, which selects a small number of critical visual features and yields extremely efficient classifiers [6]. The third contribution is a method for combining classifiers in a “cascade ” which allows background regions of the image to be quickly discarded while spending more computation on promising object-like regions. A set of experiments in the domain of face detection are presented. The system yields face detection performace comparable to the best previous systems [18, 13, 16, 12, 1]. Implemented on a conventional desktop, face detection proceeds at 15 frames per second. 1.

We have constructed a frontal face detection system which achieves detection and false positive rates which are equivalent to the best published results [7, 5, 6, 4, 1]. This face detection system is most clearly distinguished from previous approaches in its ability to detect faces extremely rapidly. Operating on 384 by 288 pixel images, faces are detected at 15 frames per second on a conventional 700 MHz Intel Pentium III. In other face detection systems, auxiliary information, such as image differences in video sequences, or pixel color in color images, have been used to achieve high frame rates. Our system achieves high frame rates working only with the information present in a single grey scale image. These alternative sources of information can also be integrated with our system to achieve even higher frame rates.

We describe finite-state programs over real-numbered time in a guarded-command language with real-valued clocks or, equivalently, as finite automata with real-valued clocks. Model checking answers the question which states of a real-time program satisfy a branching-time specification (given

This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi-tionally considered a high level planning problem, can be effectively distributed between different levels of control, al

Pfinder is a real-time system for tracking people and interpreting their behavior. It runs at 10Hz on a standard SGI Indy computer, and has performed reliably on thousands of people in many different physical locations. The system uses a multiclass statistical model of color and shape to obtain a 2

w4 is a real time visual surveillance system for detecting and tracking multiple people and monitoring their activities in an outdoor environment. It operates on monocular gray-scale video imagery, or on video imagery from an infrared camera. W4 employs a combination of shape analysis and tracking
