The ability to store and query uncertain information is of great benefit to databases that infer values from a set of observations, including databases of moving objects, sensor r...
In moving object environments, it is infeasible for the database tracking the movement of objects to store the exact locations of objects at all times. Typically, the location of a...

Modeling the evolution of topics with time is of great value in automatic summarization and analysis of large document collections. In this work, we propose a new probabilistic gr...

In an uncertain database, each data item is modeled as a range associated with a probability density function. Previous works for this kind of data have focussed on simple queries...
We study the problem of estimating the illuminant's direction from images of textured surfaces. Given an isotropic, Gaussian random surface with constant albedo, Koenderink an...
