—Many large-scale distributed systems can benefit from a service that allows them to select among alternative nodes based on their relative network positions. A variety of appro...
In this paper, we introduce a new method for tracking multiple objects. The method combines Kalman filtering and the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm in a novel way to dea...
This paper proposes the chart-style video playback interface PlayWatch; it displays a chart of semantic indices for locating video scenes. The main features of PlayWatch are: 1) t...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
