We present a static analysis for the automatic generation of symbolic prefetches in a transactional distributed shared memory. A symbolic prefetch specifies the first object to be...
We propose a new client-side data-caching scheme for relational databases with a central server and multiple clients. Data are loaded into each client cache based on queries execut...
A new deformable model called Active B-Snake Model (ABM) is presented for object boundary extraction. First, an affine-invariant landmark point assignment strategy is proposed to ...

This paper addresses the problem of foreground extraction using active illumination and graph-cut optimization. Our approach starts by detecting image regions that are likely to b...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
