Tree Histogram Coding for Mobile Image Matching (2009)
David M. Chen, Sam S. Tsai, Vijay Ch, Gabriel Takacs, Jatinder Singh, Bernd Girod
For mobile image matching applications, a mobile device captures a query image, extracts descriptive features, and transmits these features wirelessly to a server. The server recognizes the query...
Transform Coding of Image Feature Descriptors (2009)
Vijay Ch, Gabriel Takacs, David Chen, Sam S. Tsai, Jatinder Singh, Bernd Girod
We investigate transform coding to efficiently store and transmit SIFT and SURF image descriptors. We show that image and feature matching algorithms are robust to significantly compressed features....
Robust Image Retrieval using Multiview Scalable Vocabulary Trees (2009)
David Chena, Sam S. Tsaia, Vijay Ch, Gabriel Takacsa, Jatinder Singhb A, Bernd Girod
Content-based image retrieval using a Scalable Vocabulary Tree (SVT) built from local scale-invariant features is an effective method of fast search through a database. An SVT built from...
Localization in Underwater Sensor Networks − Survey and Challenges (2008)
In underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), determining the location of every sensor is important and the process of estimating the location of each node in a sensor network is known as localization....

The algorithmics of folding proteins on lattices (2008)
It should be possible to predict the fold of a protein into its native conformation, once we are given the sequence of the constituent amino acids. This is known as the protein structure prediction...
175 Years of Linear Programming Part 1. The French Connection (2007)
"I don't want to bore you, " Harvey said, "but you should understand that these heaps of wires can practically think- linear programming- which means that instead of...
