Bayesian Human Segmentation in Crowded Situations
Problem of segmenting individual humans in crowded situations from stationary video camera sequences is exacerbated by object inter-occlusion. We pose this problem as a “model-b...

Dynamic Data Driven Simulations in Stochastic Environments
To improve the predictions in dynamic data driven simulations (DDDAS) for subsurface problems, we propose the permeability update based on observed measurements. Based on measurem...
