Location monitoring systems are used to detect human activities and provide monitoring services, e.g., aggregate queries. In this paper, we consider an aggregate location monitori...
SIFFEA is an automated system for parallel nite element method (PFEM) with unstructured meshes on distributed memory machines. It synthesizes mesh generator, mesh partitioner, line...
A system that performs the tracking of a human head in 3D in real time is presented. The head shape is modeled by an ellipse with a trained color histogram of skin and hair sample...
