We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
A new paradigm, the minimization of errors in synthesized images, is introduced to organically combine Computer Vision and Computer Graphics for Virtual Reality applications. Based...
Abstract-- This paper addresses the problem of optical signalto-noise ratio (OSNR) optimization in optical networks. An analytical OSNR network model is developed for a general mul...
We present a component-based, trainable system for detecting frontal and near-frontal views of faces in still gray images. The system consists of a two-level hierarchy of Support ...

This paper proposes to characterize the fingerprint orientation using a novel topological representation, which transforms the orientation field into a map composed of a set of ...
