The dream of pervasive multimedia retrieval and reuse will not be realized without incorporating semantics in the multimedia database. As video data is penetrating many informatio...
Intelligent video surveillance (IVS) offers a large spectrum of different applications that have strict requirements on quality of service (QoS) and energy-efficiency. Recent emb...
We present an approach to hierarchically encode the topology of functions over triangulated surfaces. We describe the topology of a function by its Morse-Smale complex, a well kno...
