This paper describes a technique for the representation of the 2D frontal view of faces, based on Catmull-Rom splines. It takes advantage of the a priori knowledge about the face s...
We implement in Matlab a Gauss-like cubature formula on bivariate domains whose boundary is a piecewise smooth Jordan curve (curvilinear polygons). The key tools are Green’s int...
We consider a general weighted least squares approximation problem with a membrane spline regularization term. The key parameters in this formulation are the weighting factors whi...
An algorithm for finding a smooth, obstacle-avoiding curve in the plane can be quite complicated. The process usually involves finding one or more feasible polyline paths, choosin...
Abstract. Accurate selectivity estimations are essential for query optimization decisions where they are typically derived from various kinds of histograms which condense value dis...
