	abstract = {Large stores of digital video pose severe computational challenges to existing video analysis algorithms. In applying these algorithms, users must often trade off processing speed for accuracy, as many sophisticated and effective algorithms require large computational resources that make it impractical to apply them throughout long videos. One can save considerable effort by applying these expensive algorithms sparingly, directing their application using the results of more limited processing. We show how to do this for retrospective video analysis by modeling a video using a chain graphical model and performing inference both to analyze the video and to direct processing. We apply our method to problems in background subtraction and face detection, and show in experiments that this leads to significant improvements over baseline algorithms.},

Given semantic spatio-temporal descriptions of what generally happens (i.e., rules, event descriptions, physical constraints), and based on video analysis, we determine the events that occurred. Knowledge about spatio-temporal structure is encoded using first-order logic using an approach based on Allen{\textquoteright}s Interval Logic, and robustness to low-level observation uncertainty is provided by Markov Logic Networks (MLN). Our main contribution is that we integrate interval-based temporal reasoning with probabilistic logical inference, relying on an efficient bottom-up grounding scheme to avoid combinatorial explosion. Applied to one-on-one basketball, our framework detects and tracks players, their hands and feet, and the ball, generates event observations from the resulting trajectories, and performs probabilistic logical inference to determine the most consistent sequence of events. We demonstrate our approach on 1hr (100,000 frames) of outdoor videos.},

Video is different from text due to its large data volume and rich content diversity. To be practical, secure video processing requires efficient solutions that may involve a trade-off between security and complexity.

When comparing a frontal image of a face to a near profile image, one must cope with large occlusions, non-linear correspondences, and significant changes in appearance due to viewpoint. Stereo matching has been used to handle these problems, but performance of this approach degrades with large pose changes. We show that some of this difficulty is due to the effect that foreshortening of slanted surfaces has on window-based matching methods, which are needed to provide robustness to lighting change. We address this problem by designing a new, dynamic programming stereo algorithm that accounts for surface slant.

	abstract = {Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one popular heuristic method for solving hard problems such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP), which is one of the hardest problems lacking efficient exact solutions today. It is intuitive that the population size of a GA may greatly affect the quality of the solution, but it is unclear what are the effects of having population sizes that are significantly greater than typical experiments. The emergence of MapReduce, a framework running on a cluster of computers that aims to provide large-scale data processing, offers great opportunities to investigate this issue. In this paper, a GA is implemented to scale the population using MapReduce. Experiments are conducted on a large cluster, and population sizes up to 10<sup>7</sup> are inspected. It is shown that larger population sizes not only tend to yield better solutions, but also require fewer generations. Therefore, it is clear that when dealing with a hard problem such as JSSP, an existing GA can be improved by massively scaling up populations with MapReduce, so that the solution can be parallelized and completed in reasonable time.},

	abstract = {This paper presents a video metrology approach using an uncalibrated single camera that is either stationary or in planar motion. Although theoretically simple, measuring the length of even a line segment in a given video is often a difficult problem. Most existing techniques for this task are extensions of single image-based techniques and do not achieve the desired accuracy especially in noisy environments. In contrast, the proposed algorithm moves line segments on the reference plane to share a common endpoint using the vanishing line information followed by fitting multiple concentric circles on the image plane. A fully automated real-time system based on this algorithm has been developed to measure vehicle wheelbases using an uncalibrated stationary camera. The system estimates the vanishing line using invariant lengths on the reference plane from multiple frames rather than the given parallel lines, which may not exist in videos. It is further extended to a camera undergoing a planar motion by automatically selecting frames with similar vanishing lines from the video. Experimental results show that the measurement results are accurate enough to classify moving vehicles based on their size.},

We show that on-chip interconnection networks can provide higher bandwidth between processors and shared first-level cache than previously considered possible, facilitating greater scalability of memory architectures that require that. MoT is also compared, both analytically and experimentally, to some other traditional network topologies, such as hypercube, butterfly, fat trees and butterfly fat trees. When we evaluate a 64-terminal MoT network at 90-nm technology, concrete results show that MoT provides higher throughput and lower latency especially when the input traffic (or the on-chip parallelism) is high, at comparable area. A recurring problem in networking and communication is that of achieving good sustained throughput in contrast to just high theoretical peak performance that does not materialize for typical work loads. Our quantitative results demonstrate a clear advantage of the proposed MoT network in the context of single-chip parallel processing.},

The use of this method can produce dimension reduction by as much as a factor of n, the number of data points in the database, over sequential search. We demonstrate that the curse of dimensionality is not based on the dimension of the data itself, but primarily upon the effective dimension of the distance function. We also introduce a new distance function that utilizes fewer dimensions of the higher dimensional space to produce a maximal lower bound distance in order to approximate the full distance function.

This paper describes a bilattice based logical reasoning approach that exploits contextual information and knowledge about interactions between humans, and augments it with the output of different low level detectors for human detection. Detections from low level parts-based detectors are treated as logical facts and used to reason explicitly about the presence or absence of humans in the scene. Positive and negative information from different sources, as well as uncertainties from detections and logical rules, are integrated within the bilattice framework. This approach also generates proofs or justifications for each hypothesis it proposes. These justifications (or lack thereof) are further employed by the system to explain and validate, or reject potential hypotheses. This allows the system to explicitly reason about complex interactions between humans and handle occlusions. These proofs are also available to the end user as an explanation of why the system thinks a particular hypothesis is actually a human. We employ a boosted cascade of gradient histograms based detector to detect individual body parts. We have applied this framework to analyze the presence of humans in static images from different datasets.},

We present five criteria and quantitative measures for evaluating their effectiveness. The criteria are minimalism, stability, consistency, accessibility and applicability. It is desirable to develop activity models that rank highly on these criteria at all levels of hierarchy. In this paper, activities are represented as sequence of event probabilities computed using the hidden Markov model framework. Two aspects of hierarchies are analyzed: the effect of reduced frame rate on the accuracy of events detected at a finer scale; and the effect of reduced spatial resolution on activity recognition.

Recent introduction of the gradient attack has refined the definition of an optimal attack and demonstrated strong effect on direct-sequence, uniformly distributed, and Gaussian spread spectrum fingerprints when applied to synthetic signals. In this paper, we apply the gradient attack on an existing well-engineered video fingerprinting scheme, refine the attack procedure, and demonstrate that the gradient attack is effective on Laplace fingerprints. Finally, we explore an improvement on fingerprint design to thwart the gradient attack. Results suggest that Laplace fingerprint should be avoided. However, we show that a signal mixed of Laplace and Gaussian fingerprints may serve as a design strategy to disable the gradient attack and force pirates into averaging as a form of adversary collusion.},

Clustering a video sequence into activities requires one to simultaneously recognize activity boundaries (activity consistent subsequences) and cluster these activity subsequences. In order to do this, we build a generative model for activities (in video) using a cascade of dynamical systems and show that this model is able to capture and represent a diverse class of activities. We then derive algorithms to learn the model parameters from a video stream and also show how a single video sequence may be clustered into different clusters where each cluster represents an activity. We also propose a novel technique to build affine, view, rate invariance of the activity into the distance metric for clustering. Experiments show that the clusters found by the algorithm correspond to semantically meaningful activities.},

Specifically, we conduct cycle-accurate Verilog simulations to verify the analytical results claimed in (Balkan et al., 2006). We synthesize and obtain the layout of the MoT interconnection networks of various sizes. To further improve throughput, we investigate different arbitration primitives to handle load and store, the two most common memory operations. We also study the use of pipeline registers in large networks when there are long wires. Simulation based on full network layout demonstrates that significant throughput improvement can be achieved over the original proposed MoT interconnection network. The importance of this work lies in its validation of performance features of the MoT interconnection network, as they were previously shown to be competitive with traditional network solutions. The MoT network is currently used in an eXplicit multi-threading (XMT) on-chip parallel processor, which is engineered to support parallel programming. In that context, a 32-terminal MoT network could support up to 512 on-chip XMT processors. Our 8-terminal network that could serve 8 processor clusters (or 128 total processors), was also accepted recently for fabrication.},

Instead of just looking forward in the time domain, we incorporate both forward and backward processing of video frames using a novel time-reversibility constraint. This leads to a new minimization criterion that combines the forward and backward similarity functions and the distances of the state vectors between the forward and backward states of the tracker. The new framework reduces the possibility of the tracker getting stuck in local minima and significantly improves the tracking robustness and accuracy. Our approach is general enough to be incorporated into most of the current tracking algorithms. We illustrate the improvements due to the proposed approach for the popular KLT tracker and a search based tracker. The experimental results show that the improved KLT tracker significantly outperforms the original KLT tracker. The time-reversibility constraint used for tracking can be incorporated to improve the performance of optical flow, mean shift tracking and other algorithms.},

We then present the video state space that tracks a target{\textquoteright}s position on the image plane based on online adaptive appearance models. For the joint operation of the filter, we combine the state vectors of the individual modalities and also introduce a time-delay variable to handle the acoustic-video data synchronization issue, caused by acoustic propagation delays. A novel particle filter proposal strategy for joint state-space tracking is introduced, which places the random support of the joint filter where the final posterior is likely to lie. By using the Kullback-Leibler divergence measure, it is shown that the joint operation of the filter decreases the worst case divergence of the individual modalities. The resulting joint tracking filter is quite robust against video and acoustic occlusions due to our proposal strategy. Computer simulations are presented with synthetic and field data to demonstrate the filter{\textquoteright}s performance},

This has led to an increased interest in using video for the task of biometric recognition. Not only does video provide more information, but also is more suitable for recognizing humans in general surveillance scenarios. Other than the multitude of still frames, video makes it possible to characterize biometrics based on inherent dynamics like gait which is not possible with still images. In this paper, we describe several recent algorithms to illustrate the usefulness of videos to identify humans. A brief discussion on remaining challenges is also included.},

Specifically, when the targets are dim or are very far away from the camera, appearance cannot be used in order to establish this correspondence. Here, we propose a technique to establish correspondence across cameras using the motion features extracted from the targets, even when the relative position of the cameras is unknown. Experimental results are provided for the problem of tracking multiple bees in natural flight using two cameras. The reconstructed 3D flight paths of the bees show some interesting flight patterns},

Experimental results show that the algorithm is accurate and fairly robust to noise and inaccurate calibration.

Compared to a single camera, the use of multiple cameras leads to better handling of shadows, specularities and illumination changes due to the utilization of geometric information. Although the result of stereo matching can be used as the feature for detection, it has been shown that the detection process can be made much faster by a simple subtraction of the intensities observed at stereo-generated conjugate pairs in the two views. The methodology however, suffers from false and missed detections due to some geometric considerations. In this paper, we perform a detailed analysis of such errors. Then, we propose a sensor configuration that eliminates false detections. Algorithms are also proposed that effectively eliminate most detection errors due to missed detections, specular reflections and objects being geometrically close to the background. Experiments on several scenes illustrate the utility and enhanced performance of the proposed approach compared to existing techniques.},

	abstract = {This paper presents the results of simulation and real room studies for localization of a moving speaker using information about the excitation source of speech production. The first step in localization is the estimation of time-delay from speech collected by a pair of microphones. Methods for time-delay estimation generally use spectral features that correspond mostly to the shape of vocal tract during speech production. Spectral features are affected by degradations due to noise and reverberation. This paper proposes a method for localizing a speaker using features that arise from the excitation source during speech production. Experiments were conducted by simulating different noise and reverberation conditions to compare the performance of the time-delay estimation and source localization using the proposed method with the results obtained using the spectrum-based generalized cross correlation (GCC) methods. The results show that the proposed method shows lower number of discrepancies in the estimated time-delays. The bias, variance and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed method is consistently equal or less than the GCC methods. The location of a moving speaker estimated using the time-delays obtained by the proposed method are closer to the actual values, than those obtained by the GCC method.},

However, because evaluating the computed TPS model at all the image pixels is computationally expensive, we need to speed it up. We introduce the use of multi-level fast muitipole method (MLFMM) for this purpose. Our contribution lies in the presentation of a clear and concise MLFMM framework for TPS, which will be useful for future application developments.

The posterior probability density function of the camera motion parameters is represented by weighted samples. The algorithm employs a hierarchy coarse-to-fine strategy. First, a coarse prior distribution of camera motion parameters is estimated using the random sample consensus scheme (RANSAC). Based on this estimate, a refined posterior distribution of camera motion parameters can then be obtained through importance sampling. Experimental results using both synthetic and real image sequences indicate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.},

This type of data currently dominates most other types of available data, and will very likely become even more prevalent in the future given the current trends in collecting time series of business, scientific, demographic, and simulation data. The ability to explore such collections interactively, even at a coarse level, will be critical in discovering the information and knowledge embedded in such collections. We develop indexing techniques and search algorithms to efficiently handle temporal range value querying of multidimensional time series data. Our indexing uses linear space data structures that enable the handling of queries in I/O time that is essentially the same as that of handling a single time slice, assuming the availability of a logarithmic number of processors as a function of the temporal window. A data structure with provably almost optimal asymptotic bounds is also presented for the case when the number of multidimensional objects is relatively small. These techniques improve significantly over standard techniques for either serial or parallel processing, and are evaluated by extensive experimental results that confirm their superior performance.},

We present a fusion framework using both video and acoustic sensors for vehicle detection and tracking. In the detection phase, a rough estimate of target direction-of-arrival (DOA) is first obtained using acoustic data through beam-forming techniques. This initial DOA estimate designates the approximate target location in video. Given the initial target position, the DOA is refined by moving target detection using the video data. Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques are then used for joint audio-visual tracking. A novel fusion approach has been proposed for tracking, based on different characteristics of audio and visual trackers. Experimental results using both synthetic and real data are presented. Improved tracking performance has been observed by fusing the empirical posterior probability density functions obtained using both types of sensors.},

However, its solution is an important step in many applications like wide baseline stereo, three-dimensional (3-D) model alignment, creation of panoramic views, etc. In this paper, we propose a technique for registration of two images of a face obtained from different viewing angles. We show that prior information about the general characteristics of a face obtained from video sequences of different faces can be used to design a robust correspondence algorithm. The method works by matching two-dimensional (2-D) shapes of the different features of the face (e.g., eyes, nose etc.). A doubly stochastic matrix, representing the probability of match between the features, is derived using the Sinkhorn normalization procedure. The final correspondence is obtained by minimizing the probability of error of a match between the entire constellation of features in the two sets, thus taking into account the global spatial configuration of the features. The method is applied for creating holistic 3-D models of a face from partial representations. Although this paper focuses primarily on faces, the algorithm can also be used for other objects with small modifications.},

Our local matching algorithm assumes that local windows can have at most two disparities. Under this assumption, the local matching can be performed very efficiently using graph cuts. The global matching is formulated as minimization of an energy term that takes into account the matching constraints induced by the local stereo algorithm. Fast, approximate minimization of this energy is achieved through graph cuts. The key feature of our algorithm is that it preserves discontinuities both during the local as well as global matching phase.},

A special scenario is to learn the pattern of normal activities and detect abnormal events from a very low resolution video where the moving objects are small enough to be modeled as point objects in a 2D plane. Instead of tracking each point separately, we propose to model an activity by the polygonal {\textquoteright}shape{\textquoteright} of the configuration of these point masses at any time t, and its deformation over time. We learn the mean shape and the dynamics of the shape change using hand-picked location data (no observation noise) and define an abnormality detection statistic for the simple case of a test sequence with negligible observation noise. For the more practical case where observation (point locations) noise is large and cannot be ignored, we use a particle filter to estimate the probability distribution of the shape given the noisy observations up to the current time. Abnormality detection in this case is formulated as a change detection problem. We propose a detection strategy that can detect both {\textquoteright}drastic{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}slow{\textquoteright} abnormalities.

Typically, camera calibration is required. We propose an approach that uses only image-based information. Each camera is assigned a pan-tilt zero-position. Position of an object detected in one camera is related to the other cameras by homographies between the zero-positions while different pan-tilt positions of the same camera are related in the form of projective rotations. We then derive that the trajectories in the image plane corresponding to these projective rotations are approximately circular for pan and linear for tilt. The camera control technique is subsequently tested in a working prototype.},

	abstract = {Complex data types-such as images, documents, DNA sequences, etc.-are becoming increasingly important in modern database applications. A typical query in many of these applications seeks to find objects that are similar to some target object, where (dis)similarity is defined by some distance function. Often, the cost of evaluating the distance between two objects is very high. Thus, the number of distance evaluations should be kept at a minimum, while (ideally) maintaining the quality of the result. One way to approach this goal is to embed the data objects in a vector space so that the distances of the embedded objects approximates the actual distances. Thus, queries can be performed (for the most part) on the embedded objects. We are especially interested in examining the issue of whether or not the embedding methods will ensure that no relevant objects are left out. Particular attention is paid to the SparseMap, FastMap, and MetricMap embedding methods. SparseMap is a variant of Lipschitz embeddings, while FastMap and MetricMap are inspired by dimension reduction methods for Euclidean spaces. We show that, in general, none of these embedding methods guarantee that queries on the embedded objects have no false dismissals, while also demonstrating the limited cases in which the guarantee does hold. Moreover, we describe a variant of SparseMap that allows queries with no false dismissals.

We propose a model for probabilistic semistructured data (PSD). The advantage of our approach is that it supports a flexible representation that allows the specification of a wide class of distributions over semistructured instances. We provide two semantics for the model and show that the semantics are probabilistically coherent. Next, we develop an extension of the relational algebra to handle probabilistic semistructured data and describe efficient algorithms for answering queries that use this algebra.

In the preprocessing step, the variance of the motion field at each image is computed, and the frequency of rotation is estimated.

Integrating these algorithms into a deterministic annealing procedure allows the correspondence and pose to evolve from initially uncertain values to a joint local optimum. This research extends to line features the SoftPOSIT algorithm proposed recently for point features. Lines detected in images are typically more stable than points and are less likely to be produced by clutter and noise, especially in man-made environments.

In a low resolution video, each moving object is best represented as a moving point mass or particle. In this case, an activity can be defined by the interactions of all or some of these moving particles over time. We model this configuration of the particles by a polygonal shape formed from the locations of the points in a frame and the activity by the deformation of the polygons in time. These parameters are learned for each typical activity. Given a test video sequence, an activity is classified as abnormal if the probability for the sequence (represented by the mean shape and the dynamics of the deviations), given the model, is below a certain threshold The approach gives very encouraging results in surveillance applications using a single camera and is able to identify various kinds of abnormal behavior.},

We do this using only a qualitative description of highlight formation that is consistent with most models of specular reflection, so no specific knowledge of an object{\textquoteright}s reflectance properties is needed. We first present a method that finds highlights produced by a dominant compact light source, whose position is roughly known. We then show how to estimate the lighting automatically for objects whose reflection is part specular and part Lambertian. We demonstrate this method for two classes of objects. First, we show that specular information alone can suffice to identify objects with no Lambertian reflectance, such as transparent wine glasses.

If the distance of the object from the camera is large, a planar approximation is reasonable even for non-planar scenes. Such a method has many important applications, one of them being gait recognition where a side view of the person is required. Our method can be used to synthesize the side-view of the person in case he/she does not present a side view to the camera. Since the planarity assumption is often an approximation, the effects of non-planarity can lead to inaccuracies in rendering and needs to be corrected for. Regions where this happens are examined and a simple technique based on weak perspective approximation is proposed to offset rendering inaccuracies. Examples of synthesized views using our method and performance evaluation are presented.},

One common method of overcoming this problem is to use a generic model of a face. Existing work using this approach initializes the reconstruction algorithm with this generic model. The problem with this approach is that the algorithm can converge to a solution very close to this initial value, resulting in a reconstruction which resembles the generic model rather than the particular face in the video which needs to be modeled. We propose a method of 3D reconstruction of a human face from video in which the 3D reconstruction algorithm and the generic model are handled separately. A 3D estimate is obtained purely from the video sequence using SfM algorithms without use of the generic model. The final 3D model is obtained after combining the SfM estimate and the generic model using an energy function that corrects for the errors in the estimate by comparing local regions in the two models. The optimization is done using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling strategy. The main advantage of our algorithm over others is that it is able to retain the specific features of the face in the video sequence even when these features are different from those of the generic model. The evolution of the 3D model through the various stages of the algorithm is presented.},

We assume that the input is too large to fit in internal memory and hence focus on data structures and algorithms that minimize the I/O bounds. A new data structure, called a tree-of-regions (ToR), is introduced and involves a combination of an R-tree and efficient representation of regions. It is shown that such a data structure enables the handling of range queries in an optimal I/O time, under certain reasonable assumptions. We also show that updates to the ToR can be handled efficiently.

Visual tracking, which is in essence a temporal correspondence problem, is solved through probability density propagation, with the density being defined over a proper state space characterizing the object configuration. Verification is realized through hypothesis testing using the estimated posterior density. In its most basic form, verification can be performed as follows. Given a measurement vector Z and two hypotheses H<sub>1</sub> and H0, we first estimate posterior probabilities P(H<sub>0</sub>|Z) and P(H<sub>1</sub>|Z), and then choose the one with the larger posterior probability as the true hypothesis. Several applications of the approach are illustrated by experiments devised to evaluate its performance.

The algorithm exploits two facts: one is that in many applications, such as face and gesture recognition, the depth variation of the visible surface of an object in a scene is small compared to the distance between the optical center and the object; the other is that the time aliasing problem is alleviated at the coarse level for any two-frame optical flow estimate so that the estimate tends to be more accurate. A hierarchical representation for the relationship between the optical flow, depth, and the motion parameters is derived, and the resulting non-linear system is iteratively solved through two linear subsystems. At the coarsest level, the surface of the object tends to be flat, so that the inverse depth tends to be a constant, which is used as the initial depth map. Inverse depth and motion parameters are estimated by the two linear subsystems at each level and the results are propagated to finer levels. Error analysis and experiments using both computer-rendered images and real images demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of our algorithm.},

Their studies have validated Rover{\textquoteright}s underlying software architecture, which achieves system scalability through high-resolution, application-specific resource scheduling at the servers and network.

They designed the system specifically to scale to large user populations and expect its benefits to increase with them.},

	abstract = {Establishing correspondence between features in two images of the same scene taken from different viewing angles in a challenging problem in image processing and computer vision. However, its solution is an important step in many applications like wide baseline stereo, 3D model alignment, creation of panoramic views etc. In this paper, we propose a technique for registration of two images of a face obtained from different viewing angles. We show that prior information about the general characteristics of a face obtained from video sequences of different faces can be used to design a robust correspondence algorithm. The method works by matching 2D shapes of the different features of the face. A doubly stochastic matrix, representing the probability of match between the features, is derived using the Sinkhorn normalization procedure. The final correspondence is obtained by minimizing the probability of error of a match between the entire constellations of features in the two sets, thus taking into account the global spatial configuration of the features. The method is applied for creating holistic 3D models of a face from partial representations. Although this paper focuses primarily on faces, the algorithm can also be used for other objects with small modifications.},

In addition, an adaptive technique is proposed to determine how many bits are embedded in each part of the video.

We present an approach to segmenting strokes into stylistically meaningful segments and establish a local correspondence between a questioned signature and a reference signature to enable the analysis and comparison of stroke features. Questioned signatures which do not conform to the reference signature are identified as random forgeries. Most simple forgeries can also be identified, as they do not conform to the reference signature{\textquoteright}s invariant properties such as connections between letters.

However, the large amounts of imagery collected by the satellites are largely contaminated by the effects of atmospheric particles. The objective of atmospheric correction is to retrieve the surface reflectance from remotely sensed imagery by removing the atmospheric effects. We introduce a number of computational techniques that lead to a substantial speedup of an atmospheric correction algorithm based on using look-up tables. Excluding I/O time, the previous known implementation processes one pixel at a time and requires about 2.63 seconds per pixel on a SPARC-10 machine, while our implementation is based on processing the whole image and takes about 4-20 microseconds per pixel on the same machine. We also develop a parallel version of our algorithm that is scalable in terms of both computation and I/O. Experimental results obtained show that a Thematic Mapper (TM) image (36 MB per band, 5 bands need to be corrected) can be handled in less than 4.3 minutes on a 32-node CM-5 machine, including I/O time.},

In order to accelerate recognition considerably, the model groups can be arranged in an index space (hashed) offline such that feasible matches are found by indexing into this space. For the case of 2D images and 3D models consisting of point features, bounds on the space required for indexing and on the speedup that such indexing can achieve are demonstrated. It is proved that, even in the absence of image error, each model must be represented by a 2D surface in the index space. This places an unexpected lower bound on the space required to implement indexing and proves that no quantity is invariant for all projections of a model into the image. Theoretical bounds on the speedup achieved by indexing in the presence of image error are also determined, and an implementation of indexing for measuring this speedup empirically is presented. It is found that indexing can produce only a minimal speedup on its own. However, when accompanied by a grouping operation, indexing can provide significant speedups that grow exponentially with the number of features in the groups},
