Statistical estimation and approximate query processing have become increasingly prevalent applications for database systems. However, approximation is usually of little use witho...
Object tracking is one of the fundamental problems in computer vision and has received considerable attention in the past two decades. The success of a tracking algorithm relies on...
We address the well-known problem of determining the capacity of constrained coding systems. While the onedimensional case is well understood to the extent that there are technique...
We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
