CloudTran CloudTran In computing, CloudTran, a transaction management product, enables applications running in distributed computing and cloud computing architectures to embed logical business transactions that adhere to the properties of ACID transactions. Specifically, CloudTran coordinates ACID transactionality for data stored within in-memory data grids (e.g., Oracle Coherence, GigaSpaces, and Gemfire), as well as from the data grid to persistent storage systems (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB). Distributed computing has traditionally relied on a technology called distributed transactions which is an algorithm used to coordinate the storing of a logically-related set of data within more than one database or computer.
Feature (computer vision) Feature (computer vision) In computer vision and image processing, a feature is a piece of information which is relevant for solving the computational task related to a certain application. This is the same sense as feature in machine learning and pattern recognition generally, though image processing has a very sophisticated collection of features. Features may be specific structures in the image such as points, edges or objects. Features may also be the result of a general neighborhood operation or feature detection applied to the image. Other examples of features are related to motion in image sequences, to shapes defined in
