This paper presents a novel, real-time, minimal-latency technique for dissolve detection which handles the widely varying camera techniques, expertise, and overall video quality seen in amateur, semi-professional, and professional video footage. We achieve 88% recall and 93% precision for dissolve detection. In contrast, on the same data set, at a similar recall rate (87%), DCD has more than 3 ...

We survey in a uni...ed framework the recent literature on partnership dissolution in settings where agents have interdependent values. Contrary to the private values case where the main obstacle that hinders the construction of e¢cient trading mechanisms is the asymmetry in initial endowments, we ...nd that informational asymmetries play here a major role. For settings where the ...rst-best ca...

Automatic shot boundary detection has been an active research area for nearly a decade and has led to high performance detection algorithms for hard cuts, fades and wipes. Reliable dissolve detection, however, is still an unsolved problem. In this paper, we present the first robust and reliable dissolve detection system. A detection rate of 69% was achieved while reducing the false alarm rate t...

the quality of the river water is assessed in different months in different stations to evaluate the change in the quality in re1ation with the various point sources along the river. thirteen parameters were measured in the samples manually taken from three meters off shore in 20 cm. depth in four points representing the quality in four reaches under consideration. the results revealed that nat...
