We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Th...
It is now common practice in machine vision to define the variability in an object's appearance in a factored manner, as a combination of shape and texture transformations. I...
-- The Multi-Story Space Assignment Problem (MSAP) is an innovative formulation of the multi-story facility assignment problem that allows one to model the location of departments ...
Skyline queries have gained much attention as alternative query semantics with pros (e.g.low query formulation overhead) and cons (e.g.large control over result size). To overcome ...
The maximization of a full-rank quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard in both a worst-case sense and an average sense. Interestingly, if the rank of the form is not a ...
