This paper presents a new approach to extracting and representing structural features of images. The approach is based on both a region-based analysis and a contour-based analysis...
The ability for an agent to reason under uncertainty is crucial for many planning applications, since an agent rarely has access to complete, error-free information about its envi...
In many domains, a Bayesian network's topological structure is not known a priori and must be inferred from data. This requires a scoring function to measure how well a propo...
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
—Layered streaming is an effective solution to address the receiver heterogeneity in peer-to-peer (P2P) multimedia distribution. This paper targets a fundamental challenge in thi...
