Crawling the web is deceptively simple: the basic algorithm is (a) Fetch a page (b) Parse it to extract all linked URLs (c) For all the URLs not seen before, repeat (a)?(c). Howev...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
Checkpointing and replaying is an attractive technique that has been used widely at the operating/runtime system level to provide fault tolerance. Applying such a technique at the...
The likelihood models used in probabilistic visual tracking applications are often complex non-linear and/or nonGaussian functions, leading to analytically intractable inference. ...
The responsiveness of networked applications is limited by communications delays, making network distance an important parameter in optimizing the choice of communications peers. S...
