In this paper we describe the theory and practice of self-calibration of cameras which are fixed in location and may freely rotate while changing their internal parameters by zoomi...
The EM algorithm is widely used to estimate the parameters of many applications. It is simple but the convergence speed is slow. There is another algorithm called the scoring metho...
We consider reconstruction algorithms using points tracked over a sequence of (at least three) images, to estimate the positions of the cameras (motion parameters), the 3D coordin...
Directed hypergraphs are used to model networks whose nodes are connected by directed buses. We study in this paper two parameters related to the fault-tolerance of directed bus n...
This paper proposes a novel scheduling discipline for service differentiation in multi-service networks, which is referred to as the Probabilistic Priority (PP) discipline. PP is ...
This paper proposes a method to analyze Japanese anaphora, in which zero pronouns (omitted obligatory cases) are used to refer to preceding entities (antecedents). Unlike the case...
: For a large class of bounded-error estimation problems, the posterior feasible set 5 for the parameters can be dened by nonlinear inequalities. The set-inversion approach combine...
How do I find the optimal photometric system for a survey? Designing a photometric system to best fulfil a set of scientific goals is a complex task, demanding a compromise betwee...
This article proposes the XGOP-B deterministic traffic model for MPEG video services requiring strict bounds on the quality of service provided by the network. The XGOP-B model ta...
