It is well established that bitmap indices are efficient for read-only attributes with low attribute cardinalities. For an attribute with a high cardinality, the size of the bitma...
The highest fidelity representations of realistic real-world materials currently used comprise Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTF). The BTF is a six dimensional function dependi...
An algorithm for detecting scene changes in compressed video streams is proposed. The proposed algorithm directly exploits the motion compensation information and the prediction e...
Concentric mosaics have the ability to quickly capture a complete 3D view of a realistic environment and to enable a user to wander freely in the environment. However, the data am...
Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
