Photometric Stereo with Nearby Planar Distributed Illuminants
This paper considers the problem of shape-from-shading using nearby planar distributed illuminants. It is shown that a rectangular planar nearby distributed uniform isotropic illu...

QBDs with Marked Time Epochs: a Framework for Transient Performance Measures
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...

A geometric interpretation of r-precision and its correlation with average precision
We consider two of the most commonly cited measures of retrieval performance: average precision and R-precision. It is well known that average precision and R-precision are highly...

U-Likelihood and U-Updating Algorithms: Statistical Inference in Latent Variable Models
Abstract. In this paper we consider latent variable models and introduce a new U-likelihood concept for estimating the distribution over hidden variables. One can derive an estimat...
