We study the problem of e cient maintenance of materialized views that may contain duplicates. This problem is particularly important when queries against such views involve aggre...
We prove that the set of all Lambertian reflectance functions (the mapping from surface normals to intensities) obtained with arbitrary distant light sources lies close to a 9D lin...
Material limitations and fabrication costs generally run at odds with the creativity of architectural design, producing a wealth of challenging computational geometry problems. We...
In this study, we propose increasing discriminative power on the maximum a posteriori (MAP)-based mapping function estimation for acoustic model adaptation. Based on the effective...
Shape estimation and object reconstruction are common problems in image analysis. Mathematically, viewing objects in the image plane as random sets reduces the problem of shape es...
