Introduction Delays in getting injured patients to the hospital in a timely manner can increase avoidable death and disability. Like many low-income or middle-income countries, Rwanda experiences ...

Abstract: Tensor modeling and algorithms for computing various tensor decompositions (the Tucker/HOSVD and CP decompositions, as discussed here, most notably) constitute a very active research area in ...

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to computer vision. Major topics include image processing, detection and recognition, geometry-based and physics-based vision and video analysis.

The teenage brain is built to help young people explore the questions, “Who am I?” and “Where do belong?” Answering these questions isn’t a solitary endeavor. It’s a profoundly social one. As young ...

Expert anthropologists Abi Posner and Tom Maschio argue that Outdoor Boys’ down-to-earth adventures hold the blueprint for brands looking to cut through the noise. The secret is flow. What if the ...

Algorithms, examples and tests for denoising, deblurring, zooming, dequantization and compressive imaging with total variation (TV) and second-order total generalized variation (TGV) regularization.

The algorithm aligns lecture videos with corresponding slides with a multimodal algorithm that uses audio, OCR and image features all together. The approach uses dynamic programming to include a ...

Some algorithms are more efficient than others. We would prefer to chose an efficient algorithm, so it would be nice to have metrics for comparing algorithm efficiency. The complexity of an algorithm ...
