Abstract. This paper presents how the image-based rendering technique of viewdependent texture-mapping (VDTM) can be efficiently implemented using projective texture mapping, a fea...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
There has been a recent surge in work in probabilistic databases, propelled in large part by the huge increase in noisy data sources -from sensor data, experimental data, data fro...
