Model-based image interpretation extracts high-level information from images using a priori knowledge about the object of interest. The computational challenge in model fitting is...
We describe a novel approach for 3D ear biometrics using video. A series of frames are extracted from a video clip and the region-of-interest (ROI) in each frame is independently ...
We investigate the problem of atomic commit in transactional database systems built on top of Distributed Hash Tables. Therefore we present a framework for DHTs to provide strong d...
Skyline queries compute the set of Pareto-optimal tuples in a relation, i.e., those tuples that are not dominated by any other tuple in the same relation. Although several algorit...
In TREC 2004, the Database and Information System Lab (DBIS) at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) participates in the robust track, which is a traditional ad hoc retrieval t...
