— Before a sensor network is deployed, it is important to determine how many sensors are required to achieve a certain coverage degree. The number of sensor required for maintain...
— Self-monitoring the sensor statuses such as liveness, node density and residue energy is critical for maintaining the normal operation of the sensor network. When building the ...
In wireless ad hoc networks, autonomous nodes are reluctant to forward others' packets because of the nodes' limited energy. However, such selfishness and noncooperation ...
This paper presents a statistical model for textures that uses a non-negative decomposition on a set of local atoms learned from an exemplar. This model is described by the varianc...
