A Numerical Analysis to the {π\pi} and {K} Coupled--Channel Scalar Form-factor

A numerical analysis to the scalar form-factor in the $\pi\pi$ and KK coupled--channel system is made by solving the coupled-channel dispersive integral equations, using the iteration method. The solutions are found not unique. Physical application to the $\pi\pi$ central production in the $pp\to pp\pi\pi$ process is discussed based upon the numerical solutions we found.Comment: 8 pages, Latex, 3 figures.

Shot Classification in Broadcast Soccer Video

In this paper, we present an effective hierarchical shot classification scheme for broadcast soccer video. We first partition a video into replay and non-replay shots with replay logo detection. Then, non-replay shots are further classified into Long, Medium, Close-up or Out-field types with color and texture features based on a decision tree. We tested the method on real broadcast FIFA soccer videos, and the experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Hierarchical clustering-based navigation of image search results

Usually, the image search results contain multiple topics on semantic level and even semantically consistent images have diverse appearances on visual level. How to organize the results into semantically and visually consistent clusters becomes a necessary task to facilitate users ’ navigation. To attack this, HiCluster, an effective method to organize image search results is designed in this paper, which employs both textual and visual analysis. First, we extract some query-related key phrases to enumerate specific semantics of the given query and cluster them into some semantic clusters using K-lines-based clustering algorithm. Second, the resulting images corresponding to each key phrase are clustered with Bregman Bubble Clustering (BBC) algorithm, which partially groups images in the whole set while discarding some scattered noisy ones. At last, a novel user interface (UI) is designed to provide users with the diverse and helpful information based on the hierarchical clustering structure. Experiments on web images demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of the system
