Most variational active contour models are designed to find the “desirable” local minima of data-dependent energy functionals with the hope of avoiding undesirable configurat...
In this paper, the duality in differential form is developed between a 3D primal surface and its dual manifold formed by the surface's tangent planes, i.e., each tangent plan...
This paper intends to provide some insights of a scientific problem: how likely one’s interests can be inferred from his/her social connections – friends, friends’ friends,...
A significant number of emerging on-line data analysis applications require the processing of data streams, large amounts of data that get updated continuously, to generate output...
Incomplete information arises naturally in numerous data management applications. Recently, several researchers have studied query processing in the context of incomplete informat...
