Abstract--In this paper, we propose a natural framework that allows any region-based segmentation energy to be re-formulated in a local way. We consider local rather than global im...
We propose an intra prediction solution to block-based image compression. In order to adapt to local image features during intra prediction, we consider the distinct image singular...
Face and facial feature detection plays an important role in various applications such as human computer interaction, video surveillance, face tracking, and face recognition. Effi...
We address the question of providing throughput guarantees through distributed scheduling, which has remained an open problem for some time. We consider a simple distributed sched...
Many combinatorial optimization problems such as the bin packing and multiple knapsack problems involve assigning a set of discrete objects to multiple containers. These problems ...
