We propose a novel approach for head tracking, which combines particle filters with Isomap. The particle filter works on the low-dimensional embedding of training images. It indexes into the Isomap with its state variables to find the closest template for each particle. The most weighted particle approximates the location of head. We develop a synthetic video sequence to test our technique. The results we get show that the tracker tracks the head which Changes position, poses and lighting conditions.
Example to support XML files using MSXML.
=========================================
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a commonly used basis for representing a
huge range of structured data file formats. The specification is maintained by
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C?. This plugin is intended as an example of
how XML data can be read with a DataPlugin. You can adjust it to meet the needs
of your own XML file format.
After installing the URI file (double click on it), you can find the VBScript
file located at
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\USI\plugins\DataPlugins\XML Example"
You can make Changes to this file to read your specific XML file.
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite Changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform
KEPware Automation DLL installation instructions:
To use the KEPware Automation DLL in your Visual Basic project:
1) In the VB IDE, Select "Project/References".
2) If you have been using another vender s automation dll, uncheck it.
For example, uncheck "OPC Automation 2.0" for the OPC Foundation s
automation dll.
3) Check "KEPware OPC Automation 2.0".
4) Recompile your VB project. If you have been using the OPC Fondation s
automation dll, you should not need to make any Changes to the VB
source code.

μC/OS-II Goals
Probably the most important goal of μC/OS-II was to make it backward compatible with μC/OS (at least from an
application’s standpoint). A μC/OS port might need to be modified to work with μC/OS-II but at least, the application
code should require only minor Changes (if any). Also, because μC/OS-II is based on the same core as μC/OS, it is just
as reliable. I added conditional compilation to allow you to further reduce the amount of RAM (i.e. data space) needed
by μC/OS-II. This is especially useful when you have resource limited products. I also added the feature described in
the previous section and cleaned up the code.
Where the book is concerned, I wanted to clarify some of the concepts described in the first edition and provide
additional explanations about how μC/OS-II works. I had numerous requests about doing a chapter on how to port
μC/OS and thus, such a chapter has been included in this book for μC/OS-II.
The preferred technique places the new YAMON in the opposite Flash
bank (the Db1200 boards have two Flash banks), and then Changes switch
S11 to swap the Flash banks in the memory map to allow the other Flash
bank to become the boot bank. This technique is the safest and
preferred method since it preserves the existing YAMON

In recent years, a large amount of software development activity has migrated from
the client to the server. The client-centric model, in which a client executes complex
programs to visualize and manipulate data, is no longer considered appropriate for the
majority of enterprise applications. The principal reason is deployment—it is a
significant hassle to deploy client programs onto a large number of desktops, and to
redeploy them whenever the application Changes. Instead, applications are redesigned
to use a web browser as a "terminal". The application itself resides on the server,
formatting data for the user as web pages and processing the responses that the user fills into web forms.
Threads are essential to Java programming, but learning to use them effectively is a nontrivial task. This new edition of the classic Java Threads shows you how to take full advantage of Java s threading facilities and brings you up-to-date with the watershed Changes in Java 2 Standard Edition version 5.0 (J2SE 5.0). It provides a thorough, step-by-step approach to threads programming.
Swarm intelligence algorithms are based on natural
behaviors. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a
stochastic search and optimization tool. Changes in the
PSO parameters, namely the inertia weight and the
cognitive and social acceleration constants, affect the
performance of the search process. This paper presents a
novel method to dynamically change the values of these
parameters during the search. Adaptive critic design
(ACD) has been applied for dynamically changing the
values of the PSO parameters.
