Most tracking algorithms are based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution of a probabilistic framework called Hidden Markov Model, where the distribution of the object state a...
A guidewire is a medical device inserted into vessels during image guided interventions for balloon inflation. During interventions, the guidewire undergoes non-rigid deformation...
The problem of optimal allocation of monitoring resources for tracking transactions progressing through a distributed system, modeled as a queueing network, is considered. Two for...
In this paper we present an environment for the tracking of a human face obtained from a real video sequence. We will describe the system and discuss the advantages and disadvanta...
Our participation in TREC 2003 aims to adapt the use of the DFR (Divergence From Randomness) models with Query Expansion (QE) to the robust track and the topic distillation task o...
