Lagrangian minimization is one of the most powerful tools for Rate-Distortion optimal coding mode selection. However, in the latest video compression standard H.264/AVC, the total...
Optimizing queries that involve operations on spatial data requires estimating the selectivity and cost of these operations. In this paper, we focus on estimating the cost of spat...
AdaBoost and support vector machines (SVM) algorithms are commonly used in the field of object recognition. As classifiers, their classification performance is sensitive to affect...
Face recognition using 3D information has been intensively investigated in recent years. The features selected from 3D facial surfaces are invariant to pose and lighting condition...
Joint module selection and retiming is a powerful technique to optimize the implementation cost and the speed of a circuit specified using a synchronous data-flow graph (DFG). In ...
