The use of omnidirectional cameras for videoconferencing promises to simplify the hardware setup necessary for large groups of participants. We investigate the use of a multimodal speaker detection algorithm on audio-visual sequences captured with such a c ...
Flocks of birds self-organize into V-formations when they need to travel long distances. It has been shown that this formation allows the birds to save energy, by taking advantage of the upwash generated by the neighboring birds. In this work we use a simp ...
Memory colours refer to the colour of specific image classes that have the essential attribute of being perceived in a consistent manner by human observers. In colour correction or rendering tasks, this consistency implies that they have to be faithfully r ...
The term distributed Consensus denotes the problem of getting a certain number of processes, that could be far away from each other and that exchange messages through some communication means, to all agree on the same value. This problem has been proved im ...
We present two variants of Moler and Stewart's algorithm for reducing a matrix pair to Hessenberg-triangular (HT) form with increased data locality in the access to the matrices. In one of these variants, a careful reorganization and accumulation of Givens ...
In this note we develop generalized Survey Propagation (SP) equations from the cavity method. We quantize the message space of the messages to develop a message passing rule. We investigate a framework of greedy algorithms for finding out satisfying assign ...
Due to the increased usage of NAT boxes and firewalls, it has become harder for applications to establish direct connections seamlessly among two end-hosts. A recently, adopted proposal to mitigate this problem is to use relay nodes, end-hosts that act as ...

Many sensing systems remotely monitor/measure an environment at several sites, and then report these observations to a central site. We propose and investigate several practical algorithms for joint routing and compression of data files as they are forward ...
For accurate a posteriori error analysis of the reduced basis method for coercive and non-coercive problems, a critical ingredient lies in the evaluation of a lower bound for the coercivity or inf-sup constant. In this short Note, we generalize and improve ...
In this thesis, we focus on standard classes of problems in numerical optimization: unconstrained nonlinear optimization as well as systems of nonlinear equations. More precisely, we consider two types of unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. On t ...
