We present the nonsubsampled contourlet transform and its application in image enhancement. The nonsubsampled contourlet transform is built upon nonsubsampled pyramids and nonsubs...
A sonar-ring is one of the most popular sensors for indoor mobile robots, because it is simple and gives omni-directional distance information directly. However, it is dicult to m...
In this position paper we analyze the benefits of enabling virtual communities to self-organize and introduce a novel research direction for providing incentives, required in this...
This poster describes methods to enable intelligent access to multimodal information streams. We illustrate these methods in two integrated systems: the Broadcast News Editor (BNE...
Many algorithms for shape analysis and shape processing rely on accurate estimates of differential information such as normals and curvature. In most settings, however, care must...
