This paper considers a distance metric learning (DML) algorithm for a fingerprinting system, which identifies a query content by finding the fingerprint in the database (DB) that m...
In this paper, we propose a shadow removal algorithm for indoor scenes. This algorithm uses three types of constraints: chromaticity consistency, texture consistency and range of ...
Replication of objects, processes and components is essential for building reliable distributed systems. However, maintaining replica consistency in the presence of nondeterminism...

The problem of clustering is considered, for the case when each data point is a sample generated by a stationary ergodic process. We propose a very natural asymptotic notion of co...
We present a novel sequential clustering algorithm which is motivated by the Information Bottleneck (IB) method. In contrast to the agglomerative IB algorithm, the new sequential ...
