Performance of optical flow techniques

by J. L. Barron, D. J. Fleet, S. S. Beauchemin - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION , 1994
"... While different optical flow techniques continue to appear, there has been a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods. For a common set of real and synthetic image sequences, we report the results of a number of regularly cited optical flow techniques, including instances of differential, ..."

, matching, energy-based and phase-based methods. Our comparisons are primarily empirical, and concentrate on the accuracy, reliability and density of the velocity measurements; they show that performance can differ significantly among the techniques we implemented.

A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOCAL DESCRIPTORS

by Krystian Mikolajczyk, Cordelia Schmid , 2005
"... In this paper we compare the performance of descriptors computed for local interest regions, as for example extracted by the Harris-Affine detector [32]. Many different descriptors have been proposed in the literature. However, it is unclear which descriptors are more appropriate and how their perfo ..."

How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates?

by Marianne Bertrand, Esther Duflo, Sendhil Mullainathan , 2003
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on femal ..."

The Cache Performance and Optimizations of Blocked Algorithms

by Monica S. Lam, Edward E. Rothberg, Michael E. Wolf - In Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems , 1991
"... Blocking is a well-known optimization technique for improving the effectiveness of memory hierarchies. Instead of operating on entire rows or columns of an array, blocked algorithms operate on submatrices or blocks, so that data loaded into the faster levels of the memory hierarchy are reused. This ..."

is highly sensitive to the stride of data accesses and the size of the blocks, and can cause wide variations in machine performance for different matrix sizes. The conventional wisdom of trying to use the entire cache, or even a fixed fraction of the cache, is incorrect. If a fixed block size is used for a

The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance

by K. Anders Ericsson, Ralf Th. Krampe, Clemens Tesch-romer - Psychological Review , 1993
"... The theoretical framework presented in this article explains expert performance as the end result of individuals ' prolonged efforts to improve performance while negotiating motivational and external constraints. In most domains of expertise, individuals begin in their childhood a regimen of ef ..."

of effortful activities (deliberate practice) designed to optimize improvement. Individual differences, even among elite performers, are closely related to assessed amounts of deliberate practice. Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the result of intense practice extended

Tobins Q, corporate diversification and firm performance

by Larry H. P. Lang, René M. Stulz , 1993
"... In this paper, we show that Tobin's q and firm diversification are negatively related. This negative relation holds for different diversification measures and when we control for other known determinants of q. We show further that diversified firms have lower q's than equivalent portfolios ..."

Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: The implicit association test

by Anthony G. Greenwald, Debbie E. McGhee, et al. - J PERSONALITY SOCIAL PSYCHOL 74:1464–1480 , 1998
"... An implicit association test (IAT) measures differential association of 2 target concepts with an attribute. The 2 concepts appear in a 2-choice task (e.g., flower vs. insect names), and the attribute in a 2nd task (e.g., pleasant vs. unpleasant words for an evaluation attribute). When instructions ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1008 (63 self) - Add to MetaCart
oblige highly associated categories (e.g., flower + pleasant) to share a response key, performance is faster than when less associated categories (e.g., insect + pleasant) share a key. This performance difference implicitly measures differential association of the 2 concepts with the attribute. In 3

Performance comparison of two on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks

by Samir R. Das, Charles E. Perkins , Elizabeth M. Royer , 2000
"... Ad hoc networks are characterized by multihop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. We compare the performance of two prominent ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks — Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Ho ..."

Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV). A detailed simulation model with MAC and physical layer models is used to study interlayer interactions and their performance implications. We demonstrate that even though DSR and AODV share a similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol

Understanding packet delivery performance in dense wireless sensor networks

by Jerry Zhao , 2003
"... Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wireless communication. From a networking perspective, the most basic aspect of wireless communication is the packet delivery ..."

In this paper, we report on a systematic medium-scale (up to sixty nodes) measurement of packet delivery in three

Service Disciplines for Guaranteed Performance Service in Packet-Switching Networks

by Hui Zhang - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1995
"... While today’s computer networks support only best-effort service, future packet-switching integrated-services networks will have to support real-time communication services that allow clients to transport information with performance guarantees expressed in terms of delay, delay jitter, throughput, ..."

-switching networks. We describe their mechanisms, their similarities and differences, and the performance guarantees they can provide. Various issues and tradeoffs in designing service disciplines for guaranteed performance service are discussed, and a general framework for studying and comparing these disciplines
