— Motion and sensor models are crucial components in current algorithms for mobile robot localization and mapping. These models are typically provided and hand-tuned by a human o...
A technique for modeling fur, but not long human hair, quickly, using the facilitiesof common graphics workstations is described. The user selects a variety of parameters to achie...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model for web image mining, which is based on concept-sensitive salient regions without human intervene. Our goal is to achieve a middle-...
Previous research on cluster-based retrieval has been inconclusive as to whether it does bring improved retrieval effectiveness over document-based retrieval. Recent developments ...
If applications were able to detect a user's expertise, then software could automatically adapt to better match expertise. Detecting expertise is difficult because a user...
