— When using appearance-based recognition for self-localization of mobile robots, the images obtained during the exploration of the environment need to be efficiently stored in t...
Most data mining operations include an integral search component at their core. For example, the performance of similarity search or classification based on Nearest Neighbors is ...
A variety of lossless compression schemes have been proposed to reduce the storage requirements of web graphs. One successful approach is virtual node compression [7], in which of...
This paper investigates compression of 3D objects in computer graphics using manifold learning. Spectral compression uses the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian of an object'...
Classical rate-distortion theory requires knowledge of an elusive source distribution. Instead, we analyze rate-distortion properties of individual objects using the recently devel...
