The B-tree is a fundamental external index structure that is widely used for answering one-dimensional range reporting queries. Given a set of N keys, a range query can be answere...
This paper presents an automatic efficient method to fit a statistical deformation model of the human face to 3D scan data. In a global to local fitting scheme, the shape parameter...
The theory of regions has been recognized as the optimal deadlock prevention policy based on the marking/transition-separation instance (MTSI) or the event-state-separation-proble...
Wireless communication of video poses constraints on information capacity. Region-of-Interest (ROI) video coding provides higher quality in the ROI, but poorer quality in the back...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
