We present variable-aperture photography, a new method for analyzing sets of images captured with different aperture settings, with all other camera parameters fixed. We show that...
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a powerful decomposition tool which has been used in several content representation applications recently. However, there are some diffic...
This paper presents a method to generate dynamic shading of image-based objects without geometric models. Since conventional rendering techniques cannot be used to render the shad...
This paper addresses the problem of extending the lifetime of a batterypowered mobile host in a client-server wireless network by using task migration and remote processing. This ...
We consider reinforcement learning in systems with unknown dynamics. Algorithms such as E3 (Kearns and Singh, 2002) learn near-optimal policies by using "exploration policies...
