We present a general method to improve computation of answer sets by analyzing structural properties of normal logic programs. Therefore we use labeled directed graphs associated t...
In this paper, we applied local warping techniques to construct a frame work of image-based morphing for facial expressions animation with low complexity. From the experience we o...
We present an approach to spatial inference which is based on the procedural semantics of spatial relations. In contrast to qualitative reasoning, we do not use discrete symbolic m...
