ParaTimer: a progress indicator for MapReduce DAGs
Time-oriented progress estimation for parallel queries is a challenging problem that has received only limited attention. In this paper, we present ParaTimer, a new type of timere...

Whitening for Photometric Comparison of Smooth Surfaces under Varying Illumination
We consider the problem of image comparison in order to match smooth surfaces under varying illumination. In a smooth surface nearby surface normals are highly correlated. We model...
