Abstract. We propose an improved shape matching algorithm that extends the work of Felzenszwalb [3]. In this approach, we use triangular meshes to represent deformable objects and ...
This paper examines the correlation properties of quantization noise. The quantization noise energy is subtractive if the quantizer output levels are optimized for the probability...
Abstract. The use of sparse invariant features to recognise classes of actions or objects has become common in the literature. However, features are often "engineered" to...
—Characterizing user churn has become an important topic in studying P2P networks, both in theoretical analysis and system design. Recent work [26] has shown that direct sampling...
—There have been several studies on using computer technologies to improve elections and these studies lead to widespread adoption of “direct recording electronic” (DRE) voti...
