The detection of faces in images is fundamentally a rare event detection problem. Cascade classifiers provide an efficient computational solution, by leveraging the asymmetry in t...
This paper quantifies the performance of typical functional unit interface designs in single-chip systems. We introduce a specific equation to guide the design of optimal module i...
BLASTn is a ubiquitous tool used for large scale DNA analysis. Detailed profiling tests reveal that the most computationally intensive sections of the BLASTn algorithm are the sc...
—P2P storage systems use replication to provide a certain level of availability. While the system must generate new replicas to replace replicas lost to permanent failures, it ca...
— This paper presents a parallel algorithm of the Level Set Method named the Parallel Fast Level Set Method, and its application for real-time 3D reconstruction of human shape an...
