A method is proposed to detect multi-part man-made or natural objects in complex images. It consists in first extracting simple curves and straight lines from the edge map. Then,...
In this paper, we consider the exploration of topological environments by a robot with weak sensory capabilities. We assume only that the robot can recognize when it has reached a...
We describe an approach to object and scene retrieval which searches for and localizes all the occurrences of a user outlined object in a video. The object is represented by a set...
The calculation of slope (downhill gradient) for a point in a digital elevation model (DEM) is a common procedure in the hydrological, environmental and remote sensing sciences. T...
The popularity of batch-oriented cluster architectures like Hadoop is on the rise. These batch-based systems successfully achieve high degrees of scalability by carefully allocati...
