Scalable and secure high-level storage access for cloud computing platforms

An untrusted component exposing a high level storage object interface within an untrusted client virtual machine accepts application level storage object operations. Responsive to a storage object operation, the untrusted component passes a message through the underlying hypervisor to an associated trusted component. The trusted component processes the message by authenticating the client virtual machine and locating an internal mapping between the client virtual machine and an associated customer-specific set of backend storage resources to which the requested storage object operation is to be applied. The trusted component uses a trust relationship with the backend storage system to securely communicate the storage object operation to the backend storage system, and passes the operation results through the hypervisor back to the untrusted component in the source client virtual machine from which the storage object request originated.

Image segmentation

Segmentation of foreground from background layers in an image may be provided by a segmentation process which may be based on one or more factors including motion, color, contrast, and the like. Color, motion, and optionally contrast information may be probabilistically fused to infer foreground and / or background layers accurately and efficiently. A likelihood of motion vs. non-motion may be automatically learned from training data and then fused with a contrast-sensitive color model. Segmentation may then be solved efficiently by an optimization algorithm such as a graph cut.

The invention provides an infrared images method for detecting targets at sea, which relates to a method for detecting the targets at sea. The invention aims to provide the method for detecting the targets at sea, which not only can well inhibit sea clutters to obtain reasonable image segmentations, but also can extract out the fractal characteristics at a high speed to remove false targets so as to achieve effective detections. The method comprises the following steps: performing preprocessing on the obtained infrared images; performing self-adapting iteration threshold segmentation; detecting whether the part of a sea-sky line has a region of interest (ROI); extracting the ROI at the background part of the sea-sky line; extracting the ROI at the background part of a non-sea-sky line; and combining the regions of interest to obtain an image of interest to be further processed, and extracting the fractal characteristics of each ROI to perform target detections. The method can quickly and effectively segment out the regions of interest in the infrared images, and not only reduces the amount of calculation to extract out the fractal characteristics at a higher speed because the extracted regions of interest is far smaller than the original images, but also can remove the false targets appearing in the threshold segmentation through the fractal characteristics.

Method and apparatus for recovering a three-dimensional scene from two-dimensional images

A method and apparatus for recovering a three-dimensional (3D) scene from two-dimensional (2D) images. A sequence of images is divided into a number of smaller segments and a 3D reconstruction is performed on each segment individually. All the reconstructed segments are then combined together through an efficient bundle adjustment to complete the 3D reconstruction. Segmenting may be achieved by dividing the segments based on the number of feature points that are in each frame. The number of frames per segment is reduced by creating virtual key frames. The virtual key frames encode the 3D structure for each segment, but are only a small subset of the original frames in the segment. A final bundle adjustment is performed on the virtual key frames, rather than all of the original frames. Thus, the final bundle adjustment is two orders of magnitude faster than a conventional bundle adjustment.
