Recent work in matting, hole filling, and compositing allows image elements to be mixed in a new composite image. Previous algorithms for matting foreground elements have assumed ...
Architectural simulation has achieved a prominent role in the system design cycle by providing designers the ability to quickly examine a wide variety of design choices. However, ...
This paper considers the problem of distributed scalable coding of correlated sources that are communicated to a central unit. The general setting is typically encountered in sens...
