Abstract. We study the problem embedding an n-point metric space into another n-point metric space while minimizing distortion. We show that there is no polynomial time algorithm t...
We construct an image segmentation scheme that combines top-down (TD) with bottom-up (BU) processing. In the proposed scheme, segmentation and recognition are intertwined rather th...
In this paper, we study the metrics of negative type, which are metrics (V, d) such that d is an Euclidean metric; these metrics are thus also known as " 2-squared" met...
—Spatial query execution is an essential functionality of a sensor network. Redundancy within a sensor network can be exploited to reduce the communication cost incurred in execu...
