Abstract. Evacuation planning is critical for numerous important applications, e.g. disaster emergency management and homeland defense preparation. Efficient tools are needed to pr...
In this paper, we propose a new vector quantization method to create video thumbnail. In particular, we employ video time density function (VTDF) to explore the temporal character...
Abstract—We present an algorithm for removing timefrequency components, found by a standard Gabor transform, of a “real-world” sound while causing no audible difference to th...
The random oracle model is an idealized theoretical model that has been successfully used for designing many cryptographic algorithms and protocols. Unfortunately, a series of res...
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining feature saliency for 3D objects and describe a series of experiments that examined if salient features exist and can be predi...
