We present a distribution-based modeling cum example-based learning approach for detecting human faces in cluttered scenes. The distribution-based model captures complex variations in human face patterns that cannot be adequately described by classical pictorial template-based matching techniques or geometric model-based pattern recognition schemes. We also show how explicitly modeling the dist...

Releele non-transparente IEEE802.16j „multi-hop” constitue o soluţie promiţătoare pentru extinderea cu preţ scăzut a acoperirii şi capacităţii reţelelor WiMAX. Apar însă anumite probleme, cum ar fi alegerea unei căi de la staţia de bază prin releele disponibile, determinând în final o topologie tip arbore, sau alegerea unei căi cu interferenţă minimă. Aceasta lucrare urmăreşte evaluarea perform...
