We consider selected geometric properties of 2D or 3D sets, given in form of binary digital pictures, and discuss their estimation. The properties examined are perimeter and area i...
Suppose a principal in a cryptographic protocol creates and transmits a message containing a new value v, later receiving v back in a different cryptographic context. It can concl...
This paper proposes techniques to query encrypted XML documents. Such a problem predominantly occurs in “Database as a Service” (DAS) architectures, where a client may outsour...
This paper proposes an appearance generative mixture model based on key frames for meanshift tracking. Meanshift tracking algorithm tracks object by maximizing the similarity betwe...
