A range-max query finds the maximum value over all selected cells of an on-line analytical processing (OLAP) data cube where the selection is specified by ranges of contiguous val...
We present a surface representation and a set of algorithms that allow interactive placement of curved parametric objects without interpenetration. Using these algorithms, a model...
We introduce a new descriptor for images which allows the construction of efficient and compact classifiers with good accuracy on object category recognition. The descriptor is the...
Genetic algorithms—a class of stochastic population-based optimization techniques—have been widely realized as the effective tools to solve complicated optimization problems ...
A large number of computer tasks can be modeled as the search for an object near a given query. From multimedia databases to learning algorithms, data mining and pattern recognitio...
