Database columns are often correlated, so that cardinality estimates computed by assuming independence often lead to a poor choice of query plan by the optimizer. Multidimensional...

A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
From time to time, state-of-the-art contrast enhancement algorithms face undesired drawbacks, like loss of tiny details, enhancement of image noise, occasional overenhancement, an...
We present a novel histogram method for statistically characterizing the appearance of deformable models. In deformable model segmentation, appearance models measure the likelihoo...
