Evaluation of a Feature-Based Global-Motion Estimation System
Global-motion estimators are an important part of current video-coding systems like MPEG-4, content analysis and description systems like MPEG-7, and many video-object segmentation algorithms. Feature-based motion estimators use the motion vectors obtained for a set of selected points to calculate the parameters of the globalmotion model. This involves the detection of feature points, the compu...
متن کاملStatistical evaluation of forecasts.
Reliable forecasts of extreme but rare events, such as earthquakes, financial crashes, and epileptic seizures, would render interventions and precautions possible. Therefore, forecasting methods have been developed which intend to raise an alarm if an extreme event is about to occur. In order to statistically validate the performance of a prediction system, it must be compared to the performanc...
متن کاملThe Impact of Positive-Definite Moisture Transport on NWP Precipitation Forecasts
A positive-definite transport scheme for moisture is tested in a nonhydrostatic forecast model using convection-permitting resolutions. Use of the positive-definite scheme is found to significantly reduce the large positive bias in surface precipitation forecasts found in the non-positive-definite model forecasts, in particular at high precipitation thresholds. The positive-definite scheme elim...
متن کاملAssessing the spatial and temporal variation in the skill of precipitation forecasts from an NWP model
It is becoming increasingly important to be able to verify the spatial accuracy of precipitation forecasts, especially with the advent of high-resolution Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, the Fractions Skill Score (FSS) approach has been used to perform a scale-selective evaluation of precipitation forecasts during 2003 from the Met Office mesoscale model (12 km grid len...
متن کاملThe global radiation forecasting based on NWP or stochastic modeling: an objective criterion of choice
Numerous methods exist and were developed for global radiation forecasting. The two most popular types are the numerical weather predictions (NWP) and the predictions using stochastic approaches. This article presents a methodology for determining the best method to use, according to a rule related to the spatial resolution, temporal step and location. We propose to compute a parameter noted ...
