PIXEL FUSION BASED STEREO IMAGE RETARGETING

June 29, 2015
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
Image retargeting attempts to adapt images to different devices while preserving the salient contents. Most existing methods address retargeting of a single image. In this paper, we propose a novel image retargeting method for resizing a pair of stereo

Cloud-Enabled Prognosis for Manufacturing

Author(s)
Robert Gao, Lihui Wang, Roberto Teti, David Dornfeld, Soundar Kumara, Masahiko Mori, Moneer Helu
Advanced manufacturing depends on the timely acquisition, distribution, and utilization of information from machines and processes across spatial boundaries for improved accuracy and reliability in predicting resource needs and allocation, maintenance

Towards a “Periodic Table” of Bugs

June 19, 2015
Author(s)
Paul E. Black, Irena V. Bojanova, Yaacov Yesha, Yan Wu
High-confidence systems must not be vulnerable to attacks that reduce the security, reliability, or availability of the system as a whole. One collection of vulnerabilities is the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE). It represents a considerable community

The ability to share precise models of suppliers’ manufacturing service capability (MSC) information is necessary to develop reliable methods that enable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to efficiently configure agile and responsive supply chains

SHREC'15: Range Scans based 3D Shape Retrieval

May 3, 2015
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil
The objective of the SHREC'15 Range Scans based 3D Shape Retrieval track is to evaluate algorithms that match range scans of real objects to complete 3D mesh models in a target dataset. The task is to retrieve a rank list of complete 3D models that are of

Tap On, Tap Off: Onscreen Keyboards and Mobile Password Entry

May 1, 2015
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Joshua M. Franklin, John M. Kelsey
Password entry on mobile devices significantly impacts both usability and security, but there is a dearth of usable security research in this area, specifically for complex password entry. To address this research gap, we set out to assign strength metrics
