A closed-form solution to uncalibrated photometric stereo via diffuse maxima
In this paper we propose a novel solution to uncalibrated photometric stereo. Our approach is to eliminate the socalled generalized bas relief (GBR) ambiguity by exploiting points...

Minimizing the Network Overhead of Checkpointing in Cycle-harvesting Cluster Environments
Cycle-harvesting systems such as Condor have been developed to make desktop machines in a local area (which are often similar to clusters in hardware configuration) available as ...
