Predicated Execution can be used to alleviate the costs associated with frequently mispredicted branches. This is accomplished by trading the cost of a mispredicted branch for exe...
A novel technique for multi-scale smoothing of a free-form 3-D surface is presented. Complete triangulated models of 3-D objects are constructed (through fusion of range images) a...
Digital halftoning, or dithering, is the technique commonly used to render a color or grayscale image on a printer, a computer monitor or other bi-level displays. A particular hal...
This paper presents an efticient technique for real-time tracking of a single moving object in terrestrial scenes using a stationary camera. The tracking algorithm is based on the...
Text detection is fundamental to video information retrieval and indexing. Existing methods cannot handle well those texts with different contrast or embedded in a complex backgro...
