We describe Occam, a query planning algorithm that determines the best way to integrate data from dierent sources. As input, Occam takes a library of site descriptions and a user ...
Many parallel join algorithms have been proposed in the last several years. However, most of these algorithms require that the amount of data to be joined is known in advance in o...
The objective of the Shape Retrieval Contest '09 (SHREC'09) of Partial Models is to compare the performances of algorithms that accept a range image as the query and ret...
Abstract. This paper presents a new approach for fitting a 3D morphable model to images of faces, using self-adapting feature layers (SAFL). The algorithm integrates feature detect...
Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither of them is appropriate to manage complex data, s...
