Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
This paper proposes an architecture for optimized resource allocation in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)-based cloud systems. Current IaaS systems are usually unaware of the ho...
We present a novel image-based technique for modeling complex unfoliaged trees. Existing tree modeling tools either require capturing a large number of views for dense 3D reconstr...
This paper presents PipeProbe, a mobile sensor system for determining the spatial topology of hidden water pipelines behind walls. PipeProbe works by dropping a tiny wireless sens...
This paper deals with the problem of tracking multiple targets in a distributed network of self-configuring pan-tilt-zoom cameras. We focus on applications where events unfold over...
