Efficient processing of distance-based queries (DBQs) is of great importance in spatial databases due to the wide area of applications that may address such queries. The most repr...
Background: A fundamental goal of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) "Roadmap" is to strengthen Translational Research, defined as the movement of discoveries i...

We introduce a novel parametric BRDF model that can
accurately encode a wide variety of real-world isotropic
BRDFs with a small number of parameters. The key observation
we make...
Low-rank approximation of image collections (e.g., via
PCA) is a popular tool in many areas of computer vision.
Yet, surprisingly little is known justifying the observation
that...
Fast retrieval methods are critical for large-scale and
data-driven vision applications. Recent work has explored
ways to embed high-dimensional features or complex distance
fun...
