We propose a novel approach to increase the robustness of object detection algorithms in surveillance scenarios. The cascaded confidence filter successively incorporates constraint...
Research into large-scale distributed systems often relies on the use of simulation frameworks in order to bypass the disadvantages of performing experiments on real testbeds. SimG...
Scientific and engineering programming has been around since the beginning of computing, often being the driving force for new system development and innovation. At the same time...

Background: DNA microarrays, which have been increasingly used to monitor mRNA transcripts at a global level, can provide detailed insight into cellular processes involved in resp...
We introduce an efficient method for synthesizing acceleration noise – sound produced when an object experiences abrupt rigidbody acceleration due to collisions or other contac...

Shadow detection and removal is an important step employed after foreground detection, in order to improve the segmentation of objects for tracking. Methods reported in the litera...
Current work on automatic opinion mining has ignored opinion targets expressed by anaphorical pronouns, thereby missing a significant number of opinion targets. In this paper we e...
