Color quantization is an important operation with many applications in graphics and image processing. Most quantization methods are essentially based on data clustering algorithms...
An unsupervised nonparametric approach is proposed to automatically extract representative face samples (exemplars) from a video sequence or an image set for multipleshot face rec...
Events and stories can be characterized by a set of descriptive, collocated keywords. Intuitively, documents describing the same event will contain similar sets of keywords, and t...
During a disaster, emergency response operations can benefit from the establishment of a wireless ad hoc network. We propose the use of autonomous robots that move inside a disas...
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
