Clustering On Image Boundary Regions for Deformable Model Segmentation
We present a novel approach, clustering on local image profiles, for statistically characterizing image intensity in object boundary regions. In deformable model segmentation, a d...

Distributed Covariance Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models
—We consider distributed estimation of the inverse covariance matrix in Gaussian graphical models. These models factorize the multivariate distribution and allow for efficient d...

Synchronizing a Database to Improve Freshness
In this paper we study how to refresh a local copy of an autonomous data source to maintain the copy up-to-date. As the size of the data grows, it becomes more difficult to mainta...

Combining shape-from-shading and stereo using Gaussian-Markov random fields
In this paper we present a method of combining stereo and shape-from-shading information, taking account of the local reliability of each shape estimate. Local estimates of dispar...
