Background: MapReduce is a parallel framework that has been used effectively to design largescale parallel applications for large computing clusters. In this paper, we evaluate th...
Existing algorithms can efficiently render refractive objects of constant refractive index. For a medium with a continuously varying index of refraction, most algorithms use the r...
We introduce, characterize and test a vision-based dead-reckoning system for wearable computing that allows to track the user’s trajectory in an unknown and non-instrumented envi...
