So far, data warehousing has often been discussed in the light of complex OLAP queries and as reporting facility for operative data. We argue that business planning as a means to ...
Searching for non-text data (e.g., images) is mostly done by means of metadata annotations or by extracting the text close to the data. However, supporting real content-based audi...
In this paper, we characterize the throughput of a broadcast network with n receivers using rateless codes with block size K. We assume that the underlying channel is a Markov mod...
We consider learning models for object recognition from examples. Our method is motivated by systems that use the Hausdorff distance as a shape comparison measure. Typically an ob...
We present a novel method for analyzing reflections on arbitrary surfaces. We model reflections using a broader than usual class of imaging models, which include both perspective ...
