Robust real-time face detection

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2004
"... We have constructed a frontal face detection system which achieves detection and false positive rates which are equivalent to the best published results [7, 5, 6, 4, 1]. This face detection system is most clearly distinguished from previous approaches in its ability to detect faces extremely rapidly ..."

rates. Our system achieves high frame rates working only with the information present in a single grey scale image. These alternative sources of information can also be integrated with our system to achieve even higher frame rates.

Adaptive Display Algorithm for Interactive Frame Rates During Visualization of Complex Virtual Environments

by Thomas Funkhouser, Carlo Sequin , 1993
"... We describe an adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of very complex virtual environments. The algorithm relies upon a hierarchical model representation in which objects are described at multiple levels of detail and can be drawn with various rendering algorithm ..."

Equation-based congestion control for unicast applications

by Sally Floyd , Mark Handley , Jitendra Padhye , Jörg Widmer - SIGCOMM '00 , 2000
"... This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP-friendly cong ..."

-friendly congestion control mechanism that refrains from reducing the sending rate in half in response to a single packet drop. With our mechanism, the sender explicitly adjusts its sending rate as a function of the measured rate of loss events, where a loss event consists of one or more packets dropped within a

Detecting Pedestrians Using Patterns of Motion and Appearance

by Paul Viola, Michael J. Jones, Daniel Snow - IN ICCV , 2003
"... This paper describes a pedestrian detection system that integrates image intensity information with motion information. We use a detection style algorithm that scans a detector over two consecutive frames of a video sequence. The detector is trained (using AdaBoost) to take advantage of both moti ..."

Promoting the Use of End-to-End Congestion Control in the Internet

by Sally Floyd, Kevin Fall - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1999
"... This paper considers the potentially negative impacts of an increasing deployment of non-congestion-controlled best-effort traffic on the Internet.’ These negative impacts range from extreme unfairness against competing TCP traffic to the potential for congestion collapse. To promote the inclusion ..."

conformant TCP in the same circumstances. An unresponsive flow is one failing to reduce its offered load at a router in response to an increased packet drop rate, and a disproportionate-bandwidth flow is one that uses considerably more bandwidth than other flows in a time of congestion.

Rapid object detection using a boosted cascade of simple features

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - ACCEPTED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION AND PATTERN RECOGNITION 2001 , 2001
"... This paper describes a machine learning approach for visual object detection which is capable of processing images extremely rapidly and achieving high detection rates. This work is distinguished by three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the " ..."

Activity recognition from user-annotated acceleration data

by Ling Bao, Stephen S. Intille , 2004
"... In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of the body. Acceleration data was collected from 20 subjects without researcher supervision or observation. Subjects ..."

performance recognizing everyday activities with an overall accuracy rate of 84%. The results show that although some activities are recognized well with subject-independent training data, others appear to require subject-specific training data. The results suggest that multiple accelerometers aid

Does Compulsory School Attendance Affect Schooling and Earnings?

by Joshua D. Angrist, Alan B. Krueger , 1990
"... This paper presents evidence showing that individuals' season of birth is related to their educational attainment because of the combined effects of school start age policy and compulsory school attendance laws. In most school districts, individuals born in the beginning of the year start sc ..."

View Interpolation for Image Synthesis

by Shenchang Eric Chen, et al.
"... Image-space simplifications have been used to accelerate the calculation of computer graphic images since the dawn of visual simulation. Texture mapping has been used to provide a means by which images may themselves be used as display primitives. The work reported by this paper endeavors to carry t ..."

this concept to its logical extreme by using interpolated images to portray three-dimensional scenes. The special-effects technique of morphing, which combines interpolation of texture maps and their shape, is applied to computing arbitrary intermediate frames from an array of prestored images. If the images

Nonparametric model for background subtraction

by Ahmed Elgammal, David Harwood, Larry Davis - in ECCV ’00 , 2000
"... Abstract. Background subtraction is a method typically used to seg-ment moving regions in image sequences taken from a static camera by comparing each new frame to a model of the scene background. We present a novel non-parametric background model and a background subtraction approach. The model can ..."
