We present an approach for visual discrimination of children from adults in video using characteristic regularities present in their locomotion patterns. The framework employs comp...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection of salient video segments for real-world applications such as corporate training based on associated speech transcriptions....
Using materialized view to accelerate OLAP queries is one of the most common methods used in ROLAP systems. However, high storage and computation cost make this method very diffic...
