Abstract-- We investigate techniques to automatically decompose any XQuery query into subqueries, that can be executed near their data sources; i.e., function-shipping. In this sce...
An extension of single-view scalable video coding to multiview is presented in this paper. Scalable video coding is recently developed in the Joint Video Team of ISO/IEC MPEG and ...
Object motions can be represented as a sequence of shape deformations and translations which can be interpretated as a sequence of points in N-dimensional shape space. These space...
For effective retrieval of visual information, statistical learning plays a pivotal role. Statistical learning in such a context faces at least two major mathematical challenges: ...
We describe approximate digital implementations of two new mathematical transforms, namely, the ridgelet transform [3] and the curvelet transform [7, 6]. Our implementations offer...
