Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels), embedd...

In this paper we introduce POLAR, a probabilistic objectoriented logical framework for annotation-based information retrieval. In POLAR, the knowledge about digital objects, annot...
It is increasingly important to optimally select base stations in the design of cellular networks, as customers demand cheaper and better wireless services. From a set of potentia...
This paper presents three reconfigurable computing approaches for a Shape-Adaptive Template Matching (SA-TM) method to retrieve arbitrarily shaped objects within images or video f...
