An Efficient Cloud Market Mechanism for Computing Jobs With Soft Deadlines

Internet-based Indoor Navigation Services Abstract The advances of smartphone technology in recent years is leading to the uptake of a new class ofInternet-based Indoor Navigation (IIN) services, which might soon diminish the need of Satellite-basedtechnologies in urban environments. IIN services rely on geolocation databases that store indoormodels comprising of floor-maps and points-of-interest along with wireless, light and magnetic signals used to localize […]


Illuminant -based Transformed Spaces for Image Forensics

Illuminant -based Transformed Spaces for Image Forensics Abstract In this paper, we explore transformed spaces, represented by image illuminant maps, to propose a methodology for selecting complementary forms of characterizing visual properties for an effective and automated detection of image forgeries. We combine statistical telltales provided by different imagedescriptors that explore color, shape, and texture features. We focus on detecting image forgeries containing people and […]
