Progressive Coding of 3-D Objects Based on Overcomplete Decompositions

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Ivana Tosic

This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3-D objects, based on overcomplete signal expansions on the 2-D sphere. Due to increased freedom in the basis construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in the deco ...

High Resolution Interference Microscopy: A Tool for Probing Optical Waves in the Far-Field on a Nanometric Length Scale

Hans Peter Herzig, René Dändliker, Toralf Scharf, Iwan Märki

High Resolution Interference Microscopy (HRIM) is a technique that allows the characterization of amplitude and phase of electromagnetic wave-fields in the far-field with a spatial accuracy that corresponds to a few nanometers in the object plane. Emphasis ...

Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

Computing with Reads and Writes in the Absence of Step Contention

Rachid Guerraoui

This paper studies implementations of concurrent objects that exploit the absence of step contention. These implementations use only reads and writes when a process is running solo. The other processes might be busy with other objects, swapped-out, failed, ...

Pattern Recognition from One Example by Chopping

François Fleuret

We investigate the learning of the appearance of an object from a single image of it. Instead of using a large number of pictures of an object to be recognized, we use pictures of other objects to learn invariance to noise and variations in pose and illumi ...

Object-oriented approach for dynamic system modelling and simulation

Adel Besrour

Software engineering always cares to provide solutions for building applications as close as possible to what they should be, according to the requirements and the final users needs. Systems behavior simulation is a very common application to virtually rep ...

Tracking Video Objects in Cluttered Background

Touradj Ebrahimi

We present an algorithm for tracking video object which is based on an hybrid strategy. This strategy uses both object and region information to solve the correspondence problem. Low level descriptors are exploited to track objects regions and to cope wit ...

Frugal Mobile Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Maxime Monod, Benoît Garbinato, Jesper Honig Spring

This paper presents a computing model for resource-limited mobile devices. The originality of the model lies in the integration of a strongly-typed event-based communication paradigm with abstractions for frugal control, assuming a small footprint runtime. ...

Semantics-based representation of virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

In this paper we present an object representation based on the semantics and functionality of interactive digital items - virtual objects - within a virtual environment (VE). We consider every object participating in a VE application not only as a 3D shape ...

Compiling scala for the Java virtual machine

Michel Schinz

Scala is a new programming language developed at EPFL and incorporating the most important concepts of object-oriented and functional languages. It aims at integrating well with the Java and .NET platforms: their respective libraries are accessible without ...
