Visual Tracking Algorithm Based on Probabilistic Graphical Model

mortality forecasting based on lee-carter model

over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...

A local-motion-based probabilistic model for visual tracking

Color-based tracking is prone to failure in situations where visually similar targets are moving in a close proximity or occlude each other. To deal with the ambiguities in the visual information, we propose an additional color-independent visual model based on the target’s local motion. This model is calculated from the optical flow induced by the target in consecutive images. By modifying a c...

Probabilistic Model-Based Cell Tracking

The study of cell behavior is of crucial importance in drug and disease research. The fields of bioinformatics and biotechnology rely on the collection, processing, and analysis of huge numbers of biocellular images, including cell features such as cell size, shape, and motility. However manual methods of inferring these values are so onerous that automated methods of cell tracking and segmenta...

Distributed Preemption Decisions: Probabilistic Graphical Model, Algorithm and Near-Optimality

Cooperative decision making is a vision of future network management and control. Distributed connection preemption is an important example where nodes can make intelligent decisions on allocating resources and controlling traffic flows for multi-class service networks. A challenge is that nodal decisions are spatially dependent as traffic flows trespass multiple nodes in a network. Hence the p...
