Finding similar images in a large database is an important, but often computationally expensive, task. In this paper, we present a two-tier similar-image retrieval system with the...
Abstract. We study strategies that minimize the instability of a faulttolerant consensus system. More precisely, we find the strategy than minimizes the number of output changes ov...
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...
A representative market study was carried out to determine the penetration of electronic business in Swiss companies. A random sample was used in which companies were classified b...
Digital watermarking embeds a structure called watermark into the target data, such as image and 3D polygonal models. The watermark can be used, for example, to enforce copyright ...
