— Multiple description coding (MDC) has emerged as a powerful technique for reliable real-time communications over lossy packet networks. In its basic form, it involves encoding ...
In a variety of applications (including automatic target recognition) image classification algorithms operate on compressed image data. This paper explores the design of optimal t...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
We propose a sensor positioning scheme for a wireless sensor network consisting of beacons as well as collaborative anchors (CA) to help sensors within a prescribed service area t...
Submodular function minimization is a polynomially-solvable combinatorial problem. Unfortunately the best known general-purpose algorithms have high-order polynomial time complexi...
