Abstract: A method for shoreline segmentation in complex environments based on the perspective of an unmanned surface vessel is provided. A visible light image, a thermal infrared image and a raw radar echo image of a shoreline are obtained. The visible light image and the thermal infrared image are subjected to fusion and feasible region segmentation to obtain an all-weather two-dimensional image information of the shoreline, and an echo image including tiny features is obtained based on the raw radar echo image. An extraction region is constrained and shoreline features are enhanced based on the all-weather two-dimensional image information and the echo image to obtain a multi-feature point cloud dataset for shoreline segmentation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy and efficiency of auditing databases. A table, list or index of a database is analyzed to identify metadata, which includes time series data, user data, an Internet Protocol address and operation data. The identified metadata is associated with the corresponding record or row of the table, list or index from which the metadata was extracted. A determination is then made as to whether to record a raw data image associated with the record or row of the analyzed table, list or index based on the corresponding data operation. The identified metadata as well as the recorded data images, if any, are stored in a structured audit log. Auditing information is then obtained from a structured audit log based on matching the record or row identifier (RID) associated with the query with the RID associated with the structured audit log.
