We propose a new fault tolerance metric for XOR-based erasure codes: the minimal erasures list (MEL). A minimal erasure is a set of erasures that leads to irrecoverable data loss ...
Shading analysis of an object under near lighting is not an easy task, because the direction and distance of the light source vary over the surface of the object. Observing a small...
The use of quantum bits (qubits) in cryptography holds the promise of secure cryptographic quantum key distribution schemes. Unfortunately, the implemented schemes are often operat...
We present a competitive strategy for walking into the kernel of an initially unknown star-shaped polygon. From an arbitrary start point, s, within the polygon, our strategy find...
Automated visual tracking of cells from video microscopy has many important biomedical applications. In this paper, we model the problem of cell tracking over pairs of video micro...
