Indoor localization without infrastructure using the acoustic background spectrum
We introduce a new technique for determining a mobile phone’s indoor location even when Wi-Fi infrastructure is unavailable or sparse. Our technique is based on a new ambient so...

The Generalized Trace-Norm and its Application to Structure-from-Motion Problems
In geometric computer vision, the structure from motion (SfM) problem can be formulated as a optimization problem with a rank constraint. It is well known that the trace norm of a...

Deterministic parallel random-number generation for dynamic-multithreading platforms
Existing concurrency platforms for dynamic multithreading do not provide repeatable parallel random-number generators. This paper proposes that a mechanism called pedigrees be bui...
