Many instances of NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently if the treewidth of their corresponding graph is small. Finding the optimal tree decompositions is an NP-hard problem a...
An algorithm for finding coupling points plays an important role in the Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP) which is widely used in registration applications in medical and 3-...
In this paper, an approach for the implementation of a qualitybased Web search engine is proposed. Quality retrieval is introduced and an overview on previous efforts to implement...
An important research issue in multimedia databases is the retrieval of similar objects. For most applications in multimedia databases, an exact search is not meaningful. Thus, mu...
