CAMHID: Camera motion histogram descriptor and its application to cinematographic shot classification [PDF]
© 1991-2012 IEEE. In this paper, we propose a nonparametric camera motion descriptor for video shot classification. In the proposed method, a motion vector field (MVF) is constructed for each consecutive video frame by computing the motion vector (MV) of

A study on required volume of superconducting element for flux flow resistance type fault current limiter [PDF]
We have proposed a fault current limiter (FCL) suppressing an overcurrent only by a flux flowresistance of a high temperature superconductor (HTS). If the fault current is interrupted within an allowable time Tα after the fault occurs, the flux flow ...
