A new enhancement of RANSAC, the locally optimized RANSAC (LO-RANSAC), is introduced. It has been observed that, to find an optimal solution (with a given probability), the numbe...
Intrusion Detection Systems such as Snort scan incoming packets for evidence of security threats. The most computation-intensive part of these systems is a text search against hund...
Many user interfaces, from graphic design programs to navigation aids in cars, share a virtual space with the user. Such applications are often ideal candidates for speech interfa...
We consider typical manipulation tasks in terms of a service robot framework. Given a task at hand, such as ”Pick up the cup from the dinner table”, we present a number of diff...
Porting large applications to distributed computing platforms is a challenging task from a software engineering perspective. The Computational Grid has gained tremendous popularit...
