An important, potential application of image-based techniques is to create photo-realistic image-based environments for interactive walkthrough. However, existing image-based stud...
The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
This paper presents a purely image-based approach to fusing foreground silhouette information from multiple arbitrary views. Our approach does not require 3D constructs like camer...
Large-scale data analysis has become increasingly important for many enterprises. Recently, a new distributed computing paradigm, called MapReduce, and its open source implementat...
A decision process in which rewards depend on history rather than merely on the current state is called a decision process with non-Markovian rewards (NMRDP). In decisiontheoretic...
