The ability to automatically detect `visually interesting' regions in an image has many practical applications especially in the design of active machine vision systems. This...

An analysis is presented that extends existing Rayleigh-Ritz theory to the special case of highly eccentric distributions. Specifically, a bound on the angle between the first Rit...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
This paper addresses the problem of image retrieval from an encrypted database, where data confidentiality is preserved both in the storage and retrieval process. The paper focus...

Given a pair of nonidentical complex objects, de ning and determining how similar they are to each other is a nontrivial problem. In data mining applications, one frequently nee...
