Background estimation, i.e. automatic recovery of the background image from a sequence of images containing moving foreground objects, is an important module in many applications,...
Many information integration tasks require computing similarity between pairs of objects. Pairwise similarity computations are particularly important in record linkage systems, as...
Ranking is at the heart of many information retrieval applications. Unlike standard regression or classification in which we predict outputs independently, in ranking we are inter...
Proximity queries such as closest point computation and collision detection have many applications in computer graphics, including computer animation, physics-based modeling, augm...
The development of formal models of spatial relations is a topic of great importance in spatial reasoning, geographic information systems (GIS) and computer vision, and has gained ...
