This handbook presents a thorough overview in 45 chapters from more than 100 renowned experts in the field. It provides the tools to help overcome the problems of video storage, cataloging, and retrieval, by exploring content standardization and other content classification and analysis methods. The challenge of these complex problems make this book a must-have for video database practitioners in the fields of image and video processing, computer vision, multimedia systems, data mining, and many other diverse disciplines. Topics include video segmentation and summarization, archiving and retrieval, and modeling and representation.
This paper presents several low-latency mixed-timing
FIFO (first-in–first-out) interfaces designs that interface systems
on a chip working at different speeds. The connected systems
can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The designs are then
adapted to work between systems with very long interconnect
delays, by migrating a single-clock solution by Carloni et al.
(1999, 2000, and 2001) (for “latency-insensitive” protocols) to
mixed-timing domains. The new designs can be made arbitrarily
robust with regard to metastability and interface operating speeds.
Initial simulations for both latency and throughput are promising.
This unit uses an array of bytes to represent a LARGE number. The number is binairy-stored in the array, with the Least Significant Byte (LSB) first and the Most Significant Byte (MSB) last, like all Intel-integer types.
megahal is the conversation simulators conversing with a user in natural language. The program will exploit the fact that human beings tend to read much more meaning into what is said than is actually there
MegaHAL differs from conversation simulators such as ELIZA in that it uses
a Markov Model to learn how to hold a conversation. It is possible to
teach MegaHAL to talk about new topics, and in different languages.
