We present algorithms for improved Viterbi decoding for the case of hidden semi-Markov models. By carefully constructing directed acyclic graphs, we pose the decoding problem as t...
This paper describes an algorithm that efficiently groups line segments into perceptually salient contours in complex images. A measure of affinity between pairs of lines is used ...
We propose a new boosting algorithm for bipartite ranking problems. Our boosting algorithm, called SoftRankBoost, is a modification of RankBoost which maintains only smooth distri...
Let A and B be two families of two-way infinite x-monotone curves, no three of which pass through the same point. Assume that every curve in A lies above every curve in B and that...
The paper presents a high-performance architecture of the bit-plane coder for the embedded block coding algorithm in JPEG 2000. The architecture adopts a pipeline structure and is...
