This book is devoted to the theory and method of the change detection on very high-resolution remote sensing image. Since the very high-resolution remote sensing images have been used in the field of land cover or land use change detection, problems such as salt and pepper effect, single spectral feature and the difficulty of discrimination of change types always affect the accuracy of information extraction by using the object-based image analysis.This book comprehensively introdu...

This book investigates the cloud-based techniques of content distribution mainly for mobile Internet. It starts with hot topics such as cellular traffic optimization and video content delivery. By integrating the cloud scheme, it further tackles issues of traffic-saving, energy-efficient, high-speed, and delay-tolerant content delivery with regard to mobile Internet. It covers both theoretical algorithms and their real-world system implementations. In particular, various well-known cloud p...

Content distribution, i.e., distributing digital content from one node to another node or multiple nodes, is the most fundamental function of the Internet. Since Amazon’s launch of EC2 in 2006 and Apple’s release of the iPhone in 2007, Internet content distribution has shown a strong trend toward polarization. On the one hand, considerable investments have been made in creating heavyweight, integrated data centers (“heavy-cloud”) all over the world, in order to achieve economies of scale a...
