Abstract: Tomorrow’s embedded devices need to run high-resolution multimedia applications which need an enormous computational complexity with a very low energy consumption const...
We introduce a new data structure in the form of a light hierarchy for efficiently ray-tracing scenes with many light sources. An octree is constructed with the point light sourc...
Abstract--Objectives of the dissertation are impacts of Peerto-Peer (P2P) traffic on Internet core networks as well as novel approaches for using P2P technology in Internet access ...
Similarity search, namely, finding approximate nearest neighborhoods, is the core of many large scale machine learning or vision applications. Recently, many research results dem...
Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
