We propose a general framework to index very large datasets of spatial data in a distributed system. Our proposal is built on the recently proposed Scalable Distributed Rtree (SD-...
In recent years, statistically motivated approaches for the registration and tracking of non-rigid objects, such as the Active Appearance Model (AAM), have become very popular. A ...
In this paper, we present a novel method for 3D face recognition using adaboosted geodesic distance features. Firstly, a generic model is finely conformed to each face model conta...
Many previous studies have investigated gender classification in well-lit frontal images. In this paper we consider images where the pose, expression and lighting are relatively u...
An important issue arising from large scale data integration is how to efficiently select the top-K ranking answers from multiple sources while minimizing the transmission cost. T...
