Tele-immersion is a technology that augments your space with real-time 3D projections of remote spaces thus facilitating the interaction of people from different places in virtual...
We introduce the N-buffer as a tool for multiresolution depth map representation. This neighborhood buffer encodes the value and position of local depth extrema at different scale...
Distributed computing on heterogeneous nodes, or grid computing, provides a substantial increase in computational power available for many applications. This paper reports our expe...
In a database system, disclosure of confidential private data may occur if users can put together the answers of past queries. Traditional access control mechanisms cannot guard a...
Classical clustering algorithms are based on the concept that a cluster center is a single point. Clusters which are not compact around a single point are not candidates for class...
