There are three basic segmentation schemes for compound image compression: object-based, layer-based, and block-based. This work discusses the relative advantages of each scheme a...
This paper describes e cient and optimal encoding and representation of object contours. Contours are approximated by connected second-order spline segments, each de ned by three ...

We introduce a convoy query that retrieves all convoys from historical trajectories, each of which consists of a set of objects that travelled closely during a certain time period....
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...
We develop a mixture-based approach to robust density modeling and outlier detection for experimental multivariate data that includes measurement error information. Our model is d...
