In the previous two decades, a number of qualitative constraint calculi have been developed, which are used to represent and reason about spatial configurations. A common property...
Decomposing video frames into coherent two-dimensional motion layers is a powerful method for representing videos. Such a representation provides an intermediate description that e...
Previous analyses of scalable streaming protocols for delivery of stored multimedia have largely focused on how the server bandwidth required for full-file delivery scales as the ...
Many organizations have large quantities of spatial data collected in various application areas, including remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), astronomy, compu...
This paper describes some basic experiments to see how fast various popular scripting and user-interface languages run on a spectrum of representative tasks. We found enormous var...
