In this paper, we propose a layer-based integrated real-time scheduling algorithm in a single scalable stream and an online dynamic resource allocation algorithm among multiple concurrent users for scalable streaming media server over a network with packet loss and variable delay. The layer-based real-time scheduling algorithm efficiently schedules the packets in the buffer of the scalable stre...

This paper examines the problem of estimating surjiace shape from texture in situations in which there are multiple textures present due to texture discontinuities, occlusion, and pseudo-trarzspareizcy (fbr example looking through a picket fence ut u textured s u @ ~ e ) .

This paper examines the problem of estimating surface shape from texture in situations in which there are multiple textures present due to texture discontinuities, occlusion, and pseudo-transparency (for example looking through a picket fence at a textured surface). Previous shape-from-texture methods that use changes in the spatial frequencyrepresentation of neighboring image patches assume th...

Increased urban sprawl and increased vehicular traffic have resulted in an increased number of traffic fatalities, the majority of which occur near intersections. According to the National Highway Safety Administration, one out of eight fatalities occurring at intersections is a pedestrian. An intelligent, real-time system capable of predicting situations leading to accidents or near misses wil...
