	abstract = {This paper presents a new data hiding method for curves. The proposed algorithm parameterizes a curve using the B-spline model and adds a spread spectrum sequence to the coordinates of the B-spline control points. In order to achieve robust fingerprint detection, an iterative alignment-minimization algorithm is proposed to perform curve registration and to deal with the nonuniqueness of B-spline control points. Through experiments, we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed data-hiding algorithm against various attacks, such as collusion, cropping, geometric transformations, vector/raster-raster/vector conversions, printing-and-scanning, and some of their combinations. We also show the feasibility of our method for fingerprinting topographic maps as well as writings and drawings.},

	abstract = {A real-time video conferencing framework is proposed for multiple conferencing pairs by jointly considering the uplink and downlink conditions within IEEE 802.11 networks. We formulate this system so as to minimize the maximal end-to-end expected distortion received by all users by selecting the PHY modes and transmission time. Compared with the strategy of individually optimizing uplink and downlink, the proposed framework outperforms by 3.67-8.65 dB for the average received PSNR among all users.},

	abstract = {We describe a method to determine automatically the relative three dimensional positions of multiple microphones using at least five loudspeakers in unknown positions. The only assumption we make is that there is a microphone which is very close to a loudspeaker. In our experimental setup, we attach one microphone to each loudspeaker. We derive the maximum likelihood estimator and the solution turns out to be a non-linear least squares problem. A closed form solution which can be used as the initial guess for the minimization routine is derived. We also derive an approximate expression for the covariance of the estimator using the implicit function theorem. Using this, we analyze the performance of the estimator with respect to the positions of the loudspeakers. The algorithm is validated using both Monte-Carlo simulations and a real-time experimental setup.},

	abstract = {In combining multiple classifiers using a Bayesian formalism, a high dimensional probability distribution is composed of a class and decisions of classifiers. In order to do product approximation of the probability distribution, the upper bound of Bayes error rate, bounded by the conditional entropy of a class and decisions, should be minimized. A second-order dependency-based product approximation is proposed in this paper by considering the second-order dependency between the class and decisions. The proposed method is evaluated by combining the classifiers recognizing unconstrained handwritten numerals.},

	abstract = {Traditionally, the problem of stereo matching has been addressed either by a local window-based approach or a dense pixel-based approach using global optimization. In this paper we present an algorithm which combines window-based local matching into a global optimization framework. 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.},

The first results assume that all the red points and all the blue points lie on a curve that is homeomorphic to either a line or a circle and the cost function is given by the Euclidean distance along the curve. They present a linear time algorithm for the matching problem. They generalize the method to solve the corresponding transportation problem in O((m+n)log(m+n)) time. The next result is an O(n log m) algorithm for minimum cost matching when the cost array is a bitonic Monge array. An example of this is when the red points lie on one straight line and the blue points lie on another straight line (that is not necessarily parallel to the first one). Finally, they provide a weakly polynomial algorithm for the transportation problem in which the associated cost array is a bitonic Monge array},
