Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...
Characterizing the transient behavior of queueing systems is a difficult problem, which has been addressed by either simplified analytical models or simulation. We seek to capture...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
A common method for real-time segmentation of moving regions in image sequences involves "background subtraction," or thresholding the error between an estimate of the i...
Local experts have been used to great effect for fitting deformable
models to images. Typically, the best location in
an image for the deformable model’s landmarks are found
t...
