We give the first optimal algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a data stream, closing a long line of theoretical research on this problem begun by Flajolet...
We provide a general framework for the analysis of the capacity scaling properties in mobile ad-hoc networks with heterogeneous nodes and spatial inhomogeneities. Existing analyti...
The range searching problem is fundamental in a wide spectrum of applications such as radio frequency identification (RFID) networks, location based services (LBS), and global po...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree, the Relational R-Tree, or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existin...

Illumination inconsistencies cause serious problems for classical computer vision applications such as tracking and stereo matching. We present a new approach to model illuminatio...
