Abstract--In this paper, a new model-based algorithm for optimizing the MPEG-Advanced Audio Coder (AAC) in MS-stereo mode is presented. This algorithm is an extension to stereo sig...

We introduce the occlusion camera: a non-pinhole camera with 3D distorted rays. Some of the rays sample surfaces that are occluded in the reference view, while the rest sample vis...
—This paper describes a new approach to matching geometric structure in 2D point-sets. The novel feature is to unify the tasks of estimating transformation geometry and identifyi...
It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
