Researchers have made great strides in improving the fault tolerance of both centralized and replicated systems against arbitrary (Byzantine) faults. However, there are hard limit...

We approach the problem of 2-D and 3-D puzzle solving by matching the geometric features of puzzle pieces three at a time. First, we define an affinity measure for a pair of piece...
Classifying pictures into one of several semantic categories is a classical image understanding problem. In this paper, we present a stratified approach to both binary (outdoor-in...
Image texture analysis has received a lot of attention in the past years. Researchers have developed many texture signatures based on texture measurements, for the purpose of uniq...
A large family of algorithms for dimensionality reduction end with solving a Trace Ratio problem in the form of arg maxW Tr(WT SpW)/Tr(WT SlW)1 , which is generally transformed in...
