Attention and the detection of signals

by Michael I. Posner, Charles R. R. Snyder, Brian J. Davidson - Journal of Experimental Psychology: General , 1980
"... Detection of a visual signal requires information to reach a system capable of eliciting arbitrary responses required by the experimenter. Detection latencies are reduced when subjects receive a cue that indicates where in the visual field the signal will occur. This shift in efficiency appears to b ..."

Neural Network-Based Face Detection

by Henry A. Rowley, Shumeet Baluja, Takeo Kanade - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1998
"... We present a neural network-based upright frontal face detection system. A retinally connected neural network examines small windows of an image and decides whether each window contains a face. The system arbitrates between multiple networks to improve performance over a single network. We present ..."

Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Human Detection

by Navneet Dalal, Bill Triggs - In CVPR , 2005
"... We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition, adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient based descriptors, we show experimentally that grids of Histograms of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptors significantly out ..."

outperform existing feature sets for human detection. We study the influence of each stage of the computation on performance, concluding that fine-scale gradients, fine orientation binning, relatively coarse spatial binning, and high-quality local contrast normalization in overlapping descriptor blocks

A computational approach to edge detection

by John Canny - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1986
"... This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edge points. These goals must be precise enough to delimit the desired behavior of the detector while making minimal assumpti ..."

. We use the criteria in numerical optimization to derive detectors for several common image features, including step edges. On specializing the analysis to step edges, we find that there is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals

TCP Vegas: New techniques for congestion detection and avoidance

by Lawrence S. Brakmo, Sean W. O’malley, Larry L. Peterson - In SIGCOMM , 1994
"... Vegas is a new implementation of TCP that achieves between 40 and 70 % better throughput, with one-fifth to onehalf the losses, as compared to the implementation of TCP in the Reno distributionof BSD Unix. This paper motivates and describes the three key techniques employed by Vegas, and presents th ..."
Abstract - Cited by 600 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
the results of a comprehensive experimental performance study—using both simulations and measurements on the Internet—of the Vegas and Reno implementations of TCP. 1

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.

by Sally Floyd , Van Jacobson - IEEELACM Transactions on Networking, , 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

OBB-Tree: A hierarchical structure for rapid interference detection

by S. Gottschalk, M. C. Lint, D. Manocha - PROC. ACM SIGGRAPH, 171–180 , 1996
"... We present a data structure and an algorithm for efficient and exact interference detection amongst complex models undergoing rigid motion. The algorithm is applicable to all general polygonal and curved models. It pre-computes a hierarchical representation of models using tight-fitting oriented bo ..."

Dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection, analysis, and signature generation of exploits on commodity software

by James Newsome, Dawn Song - In Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium , 2005
"... Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or even minutes, and cause millions of dollars of damage [32, 51]. To successfully combat these fast automatic Internet attacks, we nee ..."

, and hence works on commodity software. To demonstrate this idea, we have implemented TaintCheck, a mechanism that can perform dynamic taint analysis by performing binary rewriting at run time. We show that TaintCheck reliably detects most types of exploits. We found that TaintCheck produced no false

Learning to detect natural image boundaries using local brightness, color, and texture cues

by David R. Martin, Charless C. Fowlkes, Jitendra Malik - PAMI , 2004
"... The goal of this work is to accurately detect and localize boundaries in natural scenes using local image measurements. We formulate features that respond to characteristic changes in brightness, color, and texture associated with natural boundaries. In order to combine the information from these fe ..."

outperforms existing approaches. Our two main results are 1) that cue combination can be performed adequately with a simple linear model and 2) that a proper, explicit treatment of texture is required to detect boundaries in natural images.

Controlled and automatic human information processing: II. Perceptual learning, automatic attending and a general theory

by Richard M. Shiffrin, Walter Schneider - Psychological Review , 1977
"... The two-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by Schneider and Shiffrin is tested and extended in a series of experiments. The studies demonstrate the qualitative difference between two modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search. They trace the ..."
