Robust transmission of images is achieved by using xed and variable-length coding together without much loss in compression e ciency. The probability distribution function of a DC...
We propose a new transform coding algorithm that integrates all optimization steps into a coherent and consistent framework. Each iteration of the algorithm is designed to minimiz...
Acquired data often provides the best knowledge of a material’s bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Its integration into most real-time rendering systems re...
In this paper, we study the security of a practical randomness extractor and its application in the tls standard. Randomness extraction is the first stage of key derivation functi...
Moment matching is a popular means of parametric density estimation. We extend this technique to nonparametric estimation of mixture models. Our approach works by embedding distri...
