Why might B-tree concurrency control still be interesting? For two reasons: (i) currently exploited "real world" approaches are complicated; (ii) simpler proposals are n...
We present a new contour analysis technique to detect people in thermal imagery. Background-subtraction is first used to identify local regions-of-interest. Gradient information w...
We propose an automatic approach to synchronize a network of uncalibrated and unsynchronized video cameras, and recover the complete calibration of all these cameras. In this pape...
We present several improvements to general-purpose sequential redundancy removal. First, we propose using a robust variety of synergistic transformation and verification algorithm...

A general framework is proposed for gradient boosting in supervised learning problems where the loss function is defined using a kernel over the output space. It extends boosting ...
