This paper proposes a new method for automatic fire detection in cities using image processing techniques. Images are obtained successively at regular intervals from monochrome TV...
We present an unsupervised technique for detecting unusual activity in a large video set using many simple features. No complex activity models and no supervised feature selection...
We present a method to evaluate path queries based on the novel concept of partial path instances. Our method (1) maximizes performance by means of sequential scans or asynchronou...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existing object-relational datab...
