In most of the automatic face classification applications, images should be captured in natural environments, where partial occlusions or high local changes in the illumination a...
In the next five years, the number of processors in high-end systems for scientific computing is expected to rise to tens and even hundreds of thousands. For example, the IBM Blu...
This paper formulates the problem of object categorization in the discriminant analysis framework focusing on transforming visual feature data so as to make it conform to the comp...
We describe an annealing procedure that computes the normalized N-cut of a weighted graph G. The first phase transition computes the solution of the approximate normalized 2-cut p...
We introduce a new approach to three important problems in ray tracing: antialiasing, distributed light sources, and fuzzy reflections of lights and other surfaces. For antialias...
