The theory of high rate lossy source coding is well developed both with respect to the practice of quantization and its fundamental rate distortion limits. But many modern compression systems for natural signals such as audio and images operate at lower ra ...
Seismic wave propagation in granular soils can induce large strain amplitudes in case of strong earthquakes. Seismic motions are irregular in frequency content and in amplitude, and have three different components in orthogonal directions. In this context, ...
The exploration of electronically excited states and the study of diverse photochemical and photophysical processes are the main goals of molecular electronic spectroscopy. Exact quantum-mechanical simulation of such experiments is, however, beyond current ...
This paper considers the Byzantine fault-tolerance problem in distributed stochastic gradient descent (D-SGD) method - a popular algorithm for distributed multi-agent machine learning. In this problem, each agent samples data points independently from a ce ...
In the presence of plant-model mismatch, the estimation of plant gradients is key to the performance of measurement-based iterative optimization schemes. However, gradient estimation requires time-consuming experiments, wherein the plant is sequentially pe ...
In today's digital world, sampling is at the heart of any signal acquisition device. Imaging devices are ubiquitous examples that capture two-dimensional visual signals and store them as the pixels of discrete images. The main concern is whether and how th ...
We present a framework and algorithms for robust geometry and motion reconstruction of complex deforming shapes. Our method makes use of a smooth template that provides a crude approximation of the scanned object and serves as a geometric and topological p ...
We propose the Square Attack, a new score-based black-box l2 and l∞ adversarial attack that does not rely on local gradient information and thus is not affected by gradient masking. The Square Attack is based on a randomized search scheme where ...
Change detection generally is the difference between images. The differences or changes could be due to moving objects or a variation of illumination. In general the goal is to extract only changes due to moving object that occur int eh scene, and to ignor ...
While a first generation of video coding techniques proposed to remove the redundancies in and between image frames to get smaller bitstreams, second generation schemes like MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 aim at doing content-based coding and interactivity. To reach th ...
