Approximating the Visible Region of a Point on a Terrain
Given a terrain T and a point p on or above it, we wish to compute the region Rp that is visible from p. We present a generic radar-like algorithm for computing an approximation o...

Microarray image analysis: background estimation using quantile and morphological filters
Background: In a microarray experiment the difference in expression between genes on the same slide is up to 103 fold or more. At low expression, even a small error in the estimat...

Adaptive Precision Setting for Cached Approximate Values
Caching approximate values instead of exact values presents an opportunity for performance gains in exchange for decreased precision. To maximize the performance improvement, cach...
