(), DB2 程序经理, IBM　
Rav Ahuja 是 IBM 多伦多实验室的一名世界级 DB2 程序经理。从 DB2 出第一版开始，他就一直从事 DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows 方面的工作，在 DB2 开发、技术支持、市场营销和产品战略等岗位上担任各种角色。他与世界各地的客户及合作伙伴打交道，帮助他们构建 DB2 和基于服务的解决方案，使他们从中受益。Rav 经常发表 DB2 方面的论文，撰写 DB2 方面的文章和书籍。他拥有麦吉尔大学计算机工程学士学位和西安大略大学的 MBA 学位。
简介数据库的工作负载很少一直是静态的。由于多种原因，包括用户的增加、查询模式的变化、维护任务的运行、其他应用程序消耗的资源的变化等等，工作负载及其所在的环境总是不断地变化。因此，即使是技术最高超的管理员在某个时候调优过的系统，在另一个时候也未必是最优的。变化可能在数秒内（而不是数天或数星期内）发生，因此留给管理员作出响应的时间就很短。数据库内存设置尤其容易受这些变化的影响，因而会严重影响响应时间。
下面介绍 DB2 Viper 中新的自调优内存管理特性，该特性可以自动调优数据库内存设置，并能够在运行时动态调整它们，从而优化性能并提高管理员的效率。
DB2 Viper 中的自调优内存管理特性能够在启动时自动为一些内存配置参数设置值，从而简化内存配置任务。自调优内存管理器使用智能控制和反馈机制来跟踪工作负载特征、内存消耗以及对数据库中各种共享资源的需求的变化，并根据需要动态调整它们对内存的使用。例如，如果排序操作需要更多的内存，而一些缓冲池又有多余的内存，那么内存调优器会释放多余的缓冲池内存，并将它分配给排序堆。图 1. 数据库内存
在 Windows® 和 AIX® 平台上，自调优内存特性还可以确定整个数据库的内存需求，并动态调整数据库内存使用总量。也就是说，在这些平台上，除了在数据库资源之间动态调整内存使用量之外，DB2 还可以根据工作负载的需求占用更多的物理内存，也可以在数据库内存需求较低的时候将内存释放给操作系统，供其他任务和应用程序使用。启用自调优内存特性
自调优内存特性对数据库共享内存资源起作用。这些资源包括：缓冲池 （由 ALTER BUFFERPOOL 和 CREATE BUFFERPOOL 语句控制） 包缓存 （由 pckcachesz 配置参数控制） 锁定内存 （由 locklist 和 maxlocks 配置参数控制） 排序内存 （由 sheapthres_shr 和 sortheap 配置参数控制）总体数据库共享内存 （由 database_memory 配置参数控制）自调优内存特性可以通过 self_tuning_mem 数据库配置参数来启用。在 DB2 Viper 中，当创建一个新的数据库时，会自动启用自调优内存特性（对于非分区数据库而言）。也就是说，self_tuning_mem 被设置为 ON，与前面列出的各资源对应的数据库参数被设为 AUTOMATIC。对于从早期版本的 DB2 迁移过来的已有数据库，需要手动启用自调优内存特性。不一定要让所有数据库内存资源都被自动管理，而是可以选择只将需要的一些内存资源（参数）设置为 AUTOMATIC。 优点
传统上，配置数据库内存参数以优化运行性能是一项复杂而耗时的任务。DB2 Viper 可以自动为数据库设置内存参数，从而简化数据服务器的配置任务。这样就提高了管理员的效率，使管理员可以将精力集中在其他重要的任务上。
除了简化内存配置外，这种新的、自适应的自调优内存特性可以提供较好的配置，这种配置是动态的，可以根据工作负载的重大变化及时作出响应，从而可以提高性能。
当多个数据库运行在同一个系统上时，该特性允许某些数据库在高峰时期占用更多的内存，并在其他数据库和工作负载需要更多内存的时候释放内存，因此在这种情况下该特性也具有优势。
正在起作用的自调优内存特性
展示了在基准配置中正在起作用的 DB2 自调优内存特性。DB2 自动增加数据库共享内存（左侧的图）以满足工作负载的需求，最终导致查询吞吐量增加（右侧的图）。
图 2. 自动调优对系统性能的影响结束语
DB2 Viper 中的自调优内存特性是一项革命性的特性，它可以明显节省时间，简化内存调优，并可以动态地自动优化性能。请下载 DB2 Viper，试试这个特性，体验一下它的优点。

BOSS dataset
Datasets are available&
&The BOSS project aims at developing an innovative and bandwidth efficient communication system to transmit large data rate communications between public transport vehicles and the wayside. In particular, the BOSS concepts will be evaluated and demonstrated in the context of railway transport. As a matter of fact, security issues, traditionally covered in stations by means of video-surveillance are clearly lacking on-board trains, due to the absence of efficient transmission means from the train to a supervising control centre. Similarly, diagnostic or maintenance issues are generally handled when the train arrives in stations or during maintenance stops, which prevents proactive actions to be carried out.
Dataset include 15 sequences shot by 9 cameras and 8 microphones, all synchronized together to give the possibility of 3D video/audio reconstruction.
In these datasets, we can find the following events:
&- Cell phone theft (in Spanish language).&
&- Check out - a passenger checking out another man‘s wife, then fighting (in French language).
&- Disease - a series of 3 passengers fainting, alone in the coach (both in French and Spanish).
&- Disease in public (both in French and Spanish).
&- Harass - 3 sequences in which a man harasses a woman. In "Harass2", there are other passengers in the coach.
&- Newspaper - two sequences (one in French, one in Spanish) in which a passenger harasses another passenger for his newspaper, and end up assaulting him.
&- Panic (in French language) - a passenger notices a fire in the next coach, and everybody runs out of the train.
&- Two more sequences are provided, containing no incidents whatsoever. They were shot to assess the robustness of incident detection software to false alarms.
&- Other sequences are provided, which are not acted incidents but were used for specific incident detection tasks.
Events generated by the BOSS processing are given for some sequences, in a file called "nameofthesequence.xml", in the same directory as the data set of the sequence itself. The format and types of the events are described in a PDF files.
Contextual info:
All the sequences were shot in a Madrid suburban train kindly lent by RENFE who are gratefully acknowledged.In order to allow as much flexibility as possible, all the video files are uncalibrated, the calibration files are provided along with each sequence and the description of how to use them is given in calibTutorial.pdf . An associated Matlab library is provided in BOSScalibTutorial.zip.

The objective of the EMAV 2009 (European Micro Aerial Vehicle Conference and Flight Competition) conference is to provide an effective and established forum for discussion and dissemination of original and recent advances in MAV technology. The conference program will consist of a theoretical part and a flight competition. We aim for submission of papers that address novel, challenging and innovative ideas, concepts or systems. We particularly encourage papers that go beyond MAV hardware, and address issues such as the collaboration of multiple MAVs, applications of computer vision, and non-GPS based navigation.
For computer vision researchers an image set is published. The set consists of photos taken with various MAV platforms at different locations. The photos are always stills from movies made by the platform. For this EMAV, there is no explicit assignment or competition linked to this data set. However, possible tasks with the data set are: segmentation of the images in meaningful entities, specific object recognition (cars / roads), construction of image mosaics on the basis of the films, etc.

Caltech Pedestrian Dataset
Datasets are available here:
The Caltech Pedestrian Dataset consists of approximately 10 hours of 640x480 30Hz video taken from a vehicle driving through regular traffic in an urban environment. About 250,000 frames (in 137 approximately minute long segments) with a total of 350,000 bounding boxes and 2300 unique pedestrians were annotated.&
The annotation includes temporal correspondence between bounding boxes and detailed occlusion labels. More information can be found in our CVPR09&.
Associated Matlab&code&is available. The annotations use a custom "video bounding box" (vbb) file format. The code also contains utilities to view seq files with the annotations overlayed, evaluation routines used to generate all the ROC plots in the paper, and also the vbb labeling tool used to create the dataset (a slightly outdated video tutorial of the labeler is also).

CANTATA - Left Objects Dataset
A number of video clips were recorded acting out the scenario of interest: left objects. 31 sequences of two minutes have be recorded, showing different left objects scenarios (1 or more objects, person staying close to the left object, etc).The 31 scenarios have been recorded using 2 different cameras (not synchronised), with two different views:
& - a Panasonic camera - miniDV, model NV-DS28EG (camera1)
& - a Sony camera - miniDV, model DSR-PD170P (camera2)
The videos have the following caracteristics:
& - A resolution of 720x576 pixels
& - 25 frames per second
& - A compression using MPEG4
& - The file sizes are of 75 Mo for camera1 and 65 Mo for camera2.
All the sequences are annotated using XML format. Each sequence is associated with a ".xml" annotation file with the same name ending by .gt.xml.
For each left object, we can find in the xml:
& - the exact time of the detection
& - the position of the object in the image

CANDELA - Surveillance
Datasets are available here:
Two different scenarios have been relaized during the CANDELA project : "Indoor abandonned object" and "road intersection".
o&Scenario 1: Abandoned object. The detection of abandoned objects is more or less the detection of idle (stationary or non-moving) objects that remain stationary over a certain period of time. The period of time is adjustable. In several types of scenes, idle objects should be detected. In a parking lot e.g., an idle object can be a parked car or a left suitcase. For this scenario we are not looking at the object types "person" or "car", but at unidentified objects, called "unknown objects". An unknown object is any object that is not a person or a vehicle. In general, unknown objects cannot move. What should be detected? : Whenever an unknown object appears in the scene and remains stationary for some amount of time person, an alarm needs to be generated. This alarm must remain active, as long as the unknown object remains stationary.
o&Scenario 2: Persons are allowed to cross the street at zebra crossings, a crossing controlled with lights. Alarms should be generated when persons are not allowed to be on the crossing, or when dangerous scenarios occur (cars driving when people crossing). Since the external signal from the traffic light is not available (when the crossing is regulated by traffic lights), detection needs to be done automatically. Detection of persons on the crossing itself is pretty easy, but alarms should only be given when persons are on the crossing, and cars are driving.

GavabDB : 3D face database
Datasets are available here:
GavabDB is a 3D face database. It contains 549 three-dimensional images of facial surfaces. These meshes correspond to 61 different individuals (45 male and 16 female) having 9 images for each person. The total of the individuals are Caucasian and their age is between 18 and 40 years old. Each image is given by a mesh of connected 3D points of the facial surface without texture. The database provides systematic variations with respect to the pose and the facial expression. In particular, the 9 images corresponding to each individual are: 2 frontal views with neutral expression, 2 x-rotated views (&30&, looking up and looking down respectively) with neutral expression, 2 y-rotated views (&90&, left and right profiles respectively) with neutral expression and 3 frontal gesture images (laugh, smile and a random gesture chosen by the user, respectively).

3D_RMA : 3D database
Datasets are available here:
120 persons were asked to pose twice in front of the system: in Nov 97 (session1) and in January 98 (session2). For each session, 3 shots were recorded with different (but limited) orientations of the head: straight forward / Left or Right / Upward or downard.
Among the 120 people, two thirds consist of students from the same ethnic origins and with nearly the same age. The last third consists of people of the academy, all aged between 20 and 60.
Different problems encountered in the cooperative scenario were taken into account. People sometimes worn their spectacles, sometimes didn‘t. Beards and moustaches were represented. Some people smiled in some shots. Small up/down and left/right rotations of the head were requested. We regret that only a few (14) women were available.

Actions as Space-Time Shapes
Datasets are available here:
Human action in video sequences can be seen as silhouettes of a moving torso and protruding limbs undergoing articulated motion. We regard human actions as three-dimensional shapes induced by the silhouettes in the space-time volume. We adopt a recent approach by Gorelick et. al. for analyzing 2D shapes and generalize it to deal with volumetric space-time action shapes. Our method utilizes properties of the solution to the Poisson equation to extract space-time features such as local space-time saliency, action dynamics, shape structure and orientation. We show that these features are useful for action recognition, detection and clustering. The method is fast, does not require video alignment and is applicable in (but not limited to) many scenarios where the background is known. Moreover, we demonstrate the robustness of our method to partial occlusions, non-rigid deformations, significant changes in scale and viewpoint, high irregularities in the performance of an action and low quality video.

laptev(at)nada.kth.se
Datasets are available here:
The researcher was asked to perform a set of common household activities during the four-hour period using a set of instructions. Activities included the following: preparing a recipe, doing a load of dishes, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, making the bed, and light cleaning around the apartment. The volunteer determined the sequence, pace, and concurrency of these activities and also integrated additional household tasks. Our intent was to have a short test dataset of a manageable size that could be easily placed on the web without concerns about anonymity. We wanted this test dataset, however, to show a variety of activity types and activate as many sensors as possible, but in a natural way. In addition to the activities above, the researcher searches for items, uses appliances, talks on the phone, answers email, and performs other everyday tasks. The researcher five mobile accelerometers (one on each limb and one on the hip) and a Polar M32 wireless heart rate monitor. The researcher carried an SMT 5600 mobile phone that ran experience sampling software that beeped and presented a set of questions about her activities.
The dataset includes four hours of partially (and soon to be fully) annotated video. The annotation was done using custom annotation software written by Randy Rockinson and Leevar Williams of MIT House_n. This software (called HandLense) is available for researchers to use to study this dataset. []
The annotations include descriptors for body posture, type of activity, location, and social context.

MuHAVi: Multicamera Human Action Video Data
Datasets are available here:
Here is collected a large body of human action video (MuHAVi) data using 8 cameras. There are 17 action classes performed by 14 actors. So far we have processed videos corresponding to 7 actors in order to split the actions and provide the JPG image frames. However, we have included some image frames before and after the actual action, for the purpose of background subtraction, tracking, etc. The longest pre-action frames correspond to the actor called Person1. Each actor performs each action several times in the action zone highlighted using white tapes on the scene floor. As actors were amateurs the leader had to interrupt the actors in some cases and ask them to redo the action for consistency. We have used 8 CCTV Schwan cameras located at 4 sides and 4 corners of a rectangular platform. Note that these cameras are not necessarily synchronised. We are working on improving the synchronisation between the images corresponding to different cameras.&
Calibration information may be included here in the future. Meanwhile, one can use the patterns on the scene floor to calibrate the cameras of interest.

ViHASi: Virtual Human Action Silhouette Data
Datasets are available here:
This dataset provides a large body of synthetic video data generated for the purpose of evaluating different algorithms on human action recognition which are based on silhouettes. The data consist of 20 action classes, 9 actors and up to 40 synchronised perspective camera views. It is well known that for the action recognition algorithms which are purely based on human body masks, where other image properties such as colour and intensity are not used, it is important to obtain accurate silhouette data from video frames. This problem is not usually considered as part of the action recognition, but as a lower level problem in the motion tracking and change detection. Hence for researchers working on the recognition side, access to reliable Virtual Human Action Silhouette (ViHASi)data semmes to be both a necessity and a relief. The reason for this is that such data provide a wat of comprehensive experimentation and evaluation of the methods under study, that might even lead to thier improvments.

a&base data set. The base data set contains a total of 4000 pedestrian- and 5000 non-pedestrian samples cut out from video images and scaled to common size of 18x36 pixels. This data set has been used in Section VII-A of the paper referenced above.&&Pedestrian images were obtained from manually labeling and extracting the rectangular positions of pedestrians in video images.& Video images were recorded at various (day) times and locations with no particular constraints on pedestrian pose or clothing, except that pedestrians are standing in upright position and are fully visible. As non-pedestrian images, patterns representative for typical preprocessing steps within a pedestrian classification application, from video images known not to contain any pedestrians. We chose to use a shape-based pedestrian detector that matches a given set of pedestrian shape templates to distance transformed edge images (i.e. comparatively relaxed matching threshold).&
