Applying IT to Sweeten Divestitures: The Seller Perspective
Cognizant
2020
A lion's share of companies plan to divest in the next two years, according to industry gurus, but the significant number of divestment projects are delayed or deferred due to misalignment of the business strategy and the IT strategy. Here's how sellers can leverage IT as an enabler to achieve the business objectives that drive the divestiture agenda.
How Applying An AI-Defined Infrastructure Can Boost Data Center Operations
Cognizant Technology Services
2019
An artificial-intelligence-based infrastructure that uses the data available within the data center to optimize and automate infrastructure operations can enhance operational efficiencies and improve the quality of service offered to the business. This whitepaper describes how this can be achieved.
How Auto Scaling Techniques Make Public Cloud Deployments More Cost Effective
Cognizant Technology Solutions
2016
By moving to public cloud infrastructure, IT organizations can apply auto-scaling techniques in which they pay only for the resources that are used. This can eliminate unused infrastructure during seasonal business slowdowns, resulting in significant cost savings.
A Trajectory Based Video Segmentation for Surveillance Applications
IS&T/SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging
2007
Video segmentation for content based retrieval has traditionally been done using shot cut detection algorithms that search for abrupt changes in scene content. Surveillance videos however, usually use still cameras, and do not contain any shots. Hence, a novel high level semantic change detection algorithm is proposed in this paper that uses object trajectory features to segment surveillance footage.
Motion-Based Morphological Segmentation of Wildlife Video
Proc. of IS&T/SPIE 17th Symposium on Electronic Imaging
2005
Segmentation of objects in a video sequence is a key stage in most content-based retrieval systems. By further analysing the behaviour of these objects, it is possible to extract semantic information suitable for higher level content analysis. Since interesting content in a video is usually provided by moving objects, motion is a key feature to be used for pre content analysis segmentation.
