In this paper, we propose a coherent framework for joint key-frame extraction and object-based video segmentation. Conventional key-frame extraction and object segmentation are us...
Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
— We present the Adaptive Group Notification (AGNO) scheme for efficiently contacting large peer populations in unstructured Peer-to-Peer networks. AGNO defines a novel implic...
