We present an effective method to optimize over the parameters of an image patch descriptor to obtain one that is computationally more efficient while maintaining a high recogniti...
Advanced instruments in a variety of scientific domains are collecting massive amounts of data that must be postprocessed and organized to support research activities. Astronomers...
Background modeling plays an important role in video surveillance, yet in complex scenes it is still a challenging problem. Among many difficulties, problems caused by illuminatio...
3D models have become an essential element of multimedia applications because they provide visual effects that permit interactive exploration. As in other media types, efficient c...
A robust and efficient algorithm for trimming both local and global self-intersections in offset curves and surfaces is presented. Our scheme is based on the derivation of a ratio...
