Estimating a camera pose given a set of 3D-object and 2D-image feature points is a well understood problem when correspondences are given. However, when such correspondences cannot be established a priori, one must simultaneously compute them along with th ...
Direct constructions for balanced tournaments known so far solve problems with 2n teams if 2n mod 3 not equal 1 or 2n = 2(p), p >= 3 or n is odd. Our construction uses an arbitrary partition of the league into subleagues. It solves more than half of the mi ...
Different physical problems have been analysed in the preceding {chapters}: they relate to water transfer, to heat transfer, to pollutant transfer and to mechanical equilibrium. All these problems are governed by differential equations and boundary conditi ...
The longevity of wireless sensor networks is a major issue that impacts the application of such networks. While communication protocols are striving to save energy by acting on sensor nodes, recent results show that network lifetime can be prolonged by fur ...
A snakuscule (a minuscule snake) is the simplest active contour that we were able to design while keeping the quintessence of traditional snakes: an energy term governed by the data, and a regularization term. Our construction is an area-based snake, as op ...
The method of multiple heterogeneous ant colonies with information exchange (MHACIE) is presented in this paper with emphasis on the speed of finding the optimal solution and the corresponding computational complexity. The proposed method which is inspired ...
Coated conductors are very promising for the design of novel and e±cient Fault Current Limiter (FCL). However, before considering using them in a power grid, their thermal and electromagnetic behaviors in the presence of over-critical currents need to be i ...
Real-world phenomena involve complex interactions between multiple signal modalities. As a consequence, humans are used to integrate at each instant perceptions from all their senses in order to enrich their understanding of the surrounding world. This par ...
We consider multiple description source coding problem with Gaussian source and mean squared error, for K=3 descriptions. We obtain an outer bound for the rate region of the problem. We also derive an inner bound for the problem based on successively ref ...
We use a decision-support system for agriculture based on a wireless sensor network, in order to understand how scientists solve a typical problem that requires environmental data (such as soil moisture, temperature, etc.). Subjects use an existing interfa ...
