Abstract— The adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) algorithm, which uses contrast gains (CG’s) to adjust the highfrequency components of images, is a well-known technique for me...
We describe techniques to optimally select landmarks for performing mobile robot localization by matching terrain maps. The method is based upon a maximum-likelihood robot localiza...
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
Efficient data access is one way of improving the performance of the Data Grid. In order to speed up the data access and reduce bandwidth consumption, Data Grid replicates essenti...
We examine the impact of the loss recovery mechanism on the performance of a reliable multicast protocol. Approaches to reliable multicast can be divided into two major classes: s...
