Abstract. Comparison of images requires a distance metric that is sensitive to the spatial location of objects and features. Such sensitive distance measures can, however, be compu...
We address the problem of the stitching task in endoscopic surgery using a circular needle under robotic assistance. Our main focus is to present an algorithm for suturing using gu...
Geographic information retrieval (GIR) is, as a branch of traditional information retrieval, a discipline that tries to enrich data with geographical information to make it suitab...
For nearest neighbor search, a user queries a server for nearby points of interest (POIs) with his/her location information. Our aim is to protect the user’s sensitive informatio...
Multi-reference frame motion estimation improves the accuracy of motion compensation in video coding. However, it also increases computational complexity dramatically. In this pap...
