State-of-the-art stereo vision algorithms utilize color changes as important cues for object boundaries. Most methods impose heuristic restrictions or priors on disparities, for e...
We propose a hybrid model to alleviate the notorious problem of premature battery depletion in sensor networks: in a first stage, simple sensors are deployed over an area of inter...
Spatial pyramid matching (SPM) is a simple yet effective approach to compute similarity between images. Similarity kernels at different regions and scales are usually fused by som...
This paper addresses the problem of Voice Active Detection (VAD) in noisy environments. We introduce Variational Bayes approach to EM for classification to replace the heuristic ...
This paper addresses the problem of finding a feasible solution for the University Course Timetabling Problem (UCTP), i.e. a solution that satisfies all the so-called hard const...
