We describe a method for training object detectors using a generalization of the cascade architecture, which results in a detection rate and speed comparable to that of the best p...
We propose novel thinning conditions for grayscale 3D images that do not rely on image thresholding or segmentation. The resulting grayscale skeletonization routine extracts a top...
A normalized, power-weighted averaging filter (NPF) is a very good approximation to the well-know local maximum and minimum filters along the object edges and offers noise reducti...
A video transmission system is presented based on the 3-D SPIHT algorithm for video compression and turbo codes for channel error protection. The channel considered is a binary sy...

This paper introduces a fault-tolerant group communication protocol that is aimed at grid and wide area environments. The protocol has two layers. The lower layer provides a total...
