Image transmission over low-bandwidth channels can be speeded up if the image coding mechanism supports regions of interest (RoIs). By such a scheme, image parts not belonging to ...
This paper proposes a fast motion estimation algorithm for MPEG-4 shape coding. The proposed algorithm is based on inherent properties of shape coding as well as shape information...
We study the scalable management of XML data in P2P networks based on distributed hash tables (DHTs). We identify performance limitations in this context, and propose an array of t...
Queries containing outer joins are common in data warehousing applications. Materialized outer-join views could greatly speed up many such queries but most database systems do not...
In this work we propose a probabilistic model for generic object classification from raw range images. Our approach supports a validation process in which classes are verified usi...
