In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...
Existing approaches for optimizing queries in data integration use decoupled strategies–attempting to optimize coverage and cost in two separate phases. Since sources tend to ha...
Abstract. Data copy is an important compiler optimization which dynamically rearranges the layout of arrays by copying their elements into local buffers. Traditionally, array copy...
Visual sensors provide exclusively uncertain and partial knowledge of a scene. In this article, we present a suitable scene knowledge representation that makes integration and fusi...
Image alignment in the presence of non-rigid distortions is a challenging task. Typically, this involves estimating the parameters of a dense deformation field that warps a disto...
