—In an attempt to increase the performance/cost ratio, large compute clusters are becoming heterogeneous at multiple levels: from asymmetric processors, to different system archi...
The visual nature of geometry applications makes them a natural area where visualization can be an effective tool for demonstrating algorithms. In this paper we propose a new mode...

We describe a method for retrieving shots containing a
particular 2D human pose from unconstrained movie and
TV videos. The method involves first localizing the spatial
layout o...
Matching based on local brightness is quite limited, because
small changes on local appearance invalidate the
constancy in brightness. The root of this limitation is its
treatme...

We present a new approach for the discriminative training
of continuous-valued Markov Random Field (MRF)
model parameters. In our approach we train the MRF
model by optimizing t...
