Considering that quincunx lattice is a more efficient spatial sampling scheme than square lattice, we investigate a new approach of image coding for quincunx sample arrangement. T...
The bidirectional texture function (BTF) describes rough texture appearance variations due to varying illumination and viewing conditions. Such a function consists of thousands of ...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for facial expression analysis and recognition. The proposed approach relies on tracked facial actions provided by an appearance-based 3...
Peer-to-Peer systems have proven to be an effective way of sharing data. Modern protocols are able to efficiently route a message to a given peer. However, determining the destin...
The goal of Reinforcement learning (RL) is to maximize reward (minimize cost) in a Markov decision process (MDP) without knowing the underlying model a priori. RL algorithms tend ...
