Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are among the most popular elements for fiber optic
sensor networks used for the direct measurement of temperature and strain. Modern FBG …

This paper presents an overview of existing methods developed to characterize initial
landslide failure surfaces and compute volumes based on surface information, when it is …

We describe a method to extract persistent elements of a dynamic scene from an input
video. We represent each scene element as a Deformable Sprite consisting of three …

In order to increase accuracy and robustness in state estimation for robotics, a growing
number of applications rely on data from multiple complementary sensors. For the best …

Silicon nitride photonics is on the rise owing to the broadband nature of the material,
allowing applications of biophotonics, tele/datacom, optical signal processing and sensing …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to the use of distinctive anatomical and/or
behavioral characteristics or identifiers (eg, fingerprints, face, iris, voice, and hand geometry) …

The problem of tracking curves in dense visual clutter is challenging. Kalman filtering is
inadequate because it is based on Gaussian densities which, being unimo dal, cannot …

This fifth edition has been fully updated to cover the many advances made in CAGD and
curve and surface theory since 1997, when the fourth edition appeared. Material has been …

A leading expert in CAGD, Gerald Farin covers the representation, manipulation, and
evaluation of geometric shapes in this the Third Edition of Curves and Surfaces for …
