The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...
Currently statistical and artificial neural network methods dominate in data mining applications. Alternative relational (symbolic) data mining methods have shown their effectivene...
Robots must complete their tasks in spite of unreliable actuators and limited, noisy sensing. In this paper, we consider the information requirements of such tasks. What sensing a...
One of the main strengths of the web is that it allows any party of its global community to share information with any other party. This goal has been achieved by making use of a u...
This paper explores various aspects of the image decomposition problem using modern variational techniques. We aim at splitting an original image f into two components u and v, whe...
