In recent years, a fundamental problem structure has emerged as very useful in a variety of machine learning applications: Submodularity is an intuitive diminishing returns proper...
The wide spread use of cellular phones, handheld devices, and GPS-like technology enables location-aware environments where virtually all objects are aware of their locations. Loca...
In this paper, we discuss how to apply the rate distortion technique to select the optimal mode in the scalable coding. Firstly, we analyze this problem from a general scalable mo...
Most wavelet-based image coders fail to model the joint coherent behavior of wavelet coefficients near edges. Wedgelets offer a convenient parameterization for the edges in an ima...
