Incremental quantile estimation for massive tracking
Data--call records, internet packet headers, or other transaction records--are coming down a pipe at a ferocious rate, and we need to monitor statistics of the data. There is no r...

3D Hand Tracking in a Stochastic Approximation Setting
Abstract. This paper introduces a hand tracking system with a theoretical proof of convergence. The tracking system follows a model-based approach and uses image-based cues, namely...
