Database appliances offer fully integrated hardware, storage, operating system, database, and related software in a single package. Database appliances have a relatively long hist...
This paper presents a probabilistic part-based approach for texture and object recognition. Textures are represented using a part dictionary found by quantizing the appearance of ...
We present a framework for calculating low-dimensional bases to represent image irradiance from surfaces with isotropic reflectance under arbitrary illumination. By representing t...
In this paper, we propose SPRITE (Selective PRogressive Index Tuning by Examples), a scalable system for text retrieval in a structured P2P network. Under SPRITE, each peer is res...
We introduce the Haar+ tree: a refined, wavelet-inspired data structure for synopsis construction. The advantages of this structure are twofold: First, it achieves higher synopsis...
