— With the expansion of cloud-based services, the question as to how to control usage of such large distributed systems has become increasingly important. Load balancing (LB), an...
The aim of this paper is to find the best representation for the appearance of surfaces with Lambertian reflectance under varying illumination. Previous work using principal compo...
Capturing surface appearance is important for a large number of applications. Appearance of real world surfaces is dif?cult to model as it varies with the direction of illuminatio...
Binomial trees have been used extensively for broadcasting in clusters of workstations. In the case of heterogeneous nondedicated clusters and grid environments, the broadcasting o...
In photometric stereo a robust method is required to deal with outliers, such as shadows and non-Lambertian reflections. In this paper we rely on a probabilistic imaging model tha...
