This paper presents an interactive technique that
produces static hairstyles by generating individual hair strands
of the desired shape and color, subject to the presence of gravity
and collisions. A variety of hairstyles can be generated by
adjusting the wisp parameters, while the deformation is so ...
Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filters (RBPFs) are a class of Particle
Filters (PFs) that exploit conditional dependencies between
parts of the state to estimate. By doing so, RBPFs can
improve the estimation quality while also reducing the overall
computational load in comparison to original PFs. Howev ...
The need for accurate monitoring and analysis of sequential data arises in many scientic, industrial
and nancial problems. Although the Kalman lter is effective in the linear-Gaussian
case, new methods of dealing with sequential data are required with non-standard models.
Recently, there has been re ...
Abstract
The Lucene Server project is an attempt to extend the Jakarta Lucene tool with server capabilities.
Lucene is a robust Java API that enables you creating indexes from text sources and perform powerful searches on these indexes. With Lucene, creating an index must be done programmatically ...
Sequential Monte Carlo without Likelihoods
粒子滤波不用似然函数的情况下
本文摘要:Recent new methods in Bayesian simulation have provided ways of evaluating posterior distributions
in the presence of analytically or computationally intractable likelihood functions.
Despite representing a substantial ...
Introduction
Computer security is undeniably important, and as new vulnerabilities are discovered and
exploited, the perceived need for new security solutions grows. "Trusted computing"
initiatives propose to solve some of today s security problems through hardware changes
to the personal computer. ...
Behavioral models are used in games and computer graphics for
realistic simulation of massive crowds. In this paper, we present a
GPU based implementation of Reynolds [1987] algorithm for simulating
flocks of birds and propose an extension to consider environment
self occlusion. We performed several ...
We consider the problem of target localization by a
network of passive sensors. When an unknown target emits an
acoustic or a radio signal, its position can be localized with multiple
sensors using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) information.
In this paper, we consider the maximu ...
We review the current applications of photonic technologies to Smart Cities. Inspired
by the future needs of Smart Cities, we then propose potential applications of advanced
photonic technologies. We find that photonics already has a major impact on Smart
Cities, in terms of smart lighting, sensing, ...
