Objects classification in still images using the region covariance descriptor

The goal of the Object Classification is to classify the objects in images. Classification aims for the recognition of generic classes, which is also known as Generic Object Recognition. This is quite different from Specific Object Recognition, such as recognizing specific person, own car, and etc. Human beings are generally better in recognizing generic classes than specific objects. Classification is a much harder problem to solve by artificial systems. Classification algorithm must be robust to changes in illumination, object scale, view point, and etc. The algorithm also has to manage large intra class variations and small inter class variations. In recent literature, some of the classification methods use Bag of Visual Words model. In this work the main emphasis is on region descriptor and representation of training images. Given a set of training images, interest points are detected through interest point detectors. Region around an interest point is described by a descriptor. Region covariance descriptor is adopted from porikli et al. [21], where they used this descriptor for object detection and classification. This region covariance descriptor is combined with Bag of Visual words model. We have used a different set of features for Classification task. Covariance of d-features, e.g. spatial location, Gaussian kernel with three different s values, first order Gaussian derivatives with two different s values, and second order Gaussian derivatives with four different s values, characterizes a region of interest. An image is also represented by Bag of Visual words obtained with both SIFT and Covariance descriptors. We worked on five datasets; Caltech-4, Caltech-3, Animal, Caltech-10, and Flower (17 classes), with first four taken from Caltech-256 and Caltech-101 datasets. Many researchers used Caltech-4 dataset for object classification task. The region covariance descriptor is outperforming SIFT descriptor on both Caltech-4 and Caltech-3 datasets, whereas Combined representation (SIFT + Covariance) is outperforming both SIFT and Covarianc

EBDP BUFFER SIZING STRATEGY 802.11 BASED WLANS

In this paper we present wired routers, for whom the sizing of buffers is an active research topic. The classical rule of thumb for sizing wired buffers is to set buffer sizes to be the product of the bandwidth and the average delay of the flows utilizing this link, namely the Bandwidth-Delay Product (BDP) rule. Surprisingly, however the sizing of buffers in wireless networks (especially those based on 802.11/802.11e) appears to have received very little attention within the networking community. Exceptions include the recent work in relating to buffer sizing for voice traffic in 802.11e WLANs, work in which considers the impact of buffer sizing on TCP upload/download fairness, and work in which is related to 802.11e parameter settings

Evolutionary experimentation through hybridization under laboratory condition in Drosophila: Evidence for Recombinational Speciation

BACKGROUND: Drosophila nasuta nasuta (2n = 8) and Drosophila nasuta albomicans (2n = 6) are a pair of sibling allopatric chromosomal cross-fertile races of the nasuta subgroup of immigrans species group of Drosophila. Interracial hybridization between these two races has given rise to new karyotypic strains called Cytorace 1 and Cytorace 2 (first phase). Further hybridization between Thailand strain of D. n. albomicans and D. n. nasuta of Coorg strain has resulted in the evolution of two more Cytoraces, namely Cytorace 3 and Cytorace 4 (second phase). The third phase Cytoraces (Cytorace 5 to Cytorace 16) have evolved through interracial hybridization among first, second phase Cytoraces along with parental races. Each of these Cytoraces is composed of recombined genomes of the parental races. Here, we have made an attempt to systematically assess the impact of hybridization on karyotypes, morphometric and life history traits in all 16 Cytoraces. RESULTS: The results reveal that in most cases, the newly evolved Cytoraces, with different chromosome constitutions, exhibit decreased body size, better fitness and live longer than their parents. Particularly, Cytorace 5, 6 and 8 have evolved with very much higher range values of quantitative traits than the parents and other Cytoraces, which suggests the role of transgressive segregation in the evolution of these Cytoraces. CONCLUSION: Thus, the rapid divergence recorded in the chromosomes, karyotypes, body size and fitness traits of Cytoraces exhibit the early event of recombinational raciation / speciation in the evolution of the Cytoraces under laboratory conditions

Impact of Carbohydrate and Amino Acid Enriched Diet on The Heat Tolerance of Drosophila Ananassae and Drosophila Bipectinata

  Elevated temperatures promote the accumulation of damages, which can be countered by improving diet. So, it is critical to comprehend how environmental temperature influences the survival of an organism. Providing a diet with additional nutrient regimens accelerates the physiological and metabolic processes in organisms, which results in better survival. Present study aimed to understand the impact of carbohydrate and amino acid-enriched diet on the heat tolerance of Drosophila ananassae and D. bipectinata. Adult flies were transferred to the media composition enriched with carbohydrate and amino acid in three replicates and maintained at 22oC. 20 flies of a particular stage in three replicates were exposed to 24oC, 28oC, and 32oC for 5 days. The impact of thermal stress on their survival was noted for 5 following days. The results of this study show different stages of Drosophila ananassae and D. bipectinata can handle heat stress in a better manner when fed with a carbohydrate and amino acid-rich diet. D. bipectinata survival rates were higher than D. ananassae when compared at each temperature at different diet regimens. This study provided convincing evidence of the positive influence of the tryptophan (100mg) diet compared to the sucrose diet on the survival, quality of life, and stress tolerance of both species
