We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
To efficiently find global patterns from a multi-database, information in each local database must first be mined and summarized at the local level. Then only the summarized infor...
Edge detection in images has been a fundamental problem
in computer vision from its early days. Edge detection
on surfaces, on the other hand, has received much less attention.

Abstract. Motivated by image perturbation and the geometry of manifolds, we present a novel method combining these two elements. First, we form a tangent space from a set of pertur...
This paper describes a method for estimating a human spine posture from human images using a human spine model to compute the rough approximation of the physical forces working on ...
