As Grids try to achieve optimal and balanced utilization of unused resources in a distributed system, fast and efficient discovery of resource states is a key requirement. For sm...
A robust character region identification approach is proposed here to deal with cover images using a differential top-hat transformation (DTT). The DTT is derived from morphologica...
—This paper discusses large scale keyword searching on top of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The state-of-the-art keyword searching techniques for unstructured and structured P2P s...

– Robotic navigation and interaction frequently require that the shape and motion of external objects and events be observed. Many interesting events occur at mixed scales. Subtl...
Many watermarking algorithms embed the watermark into the image as contiguous non-overlapping tiles. This tiling structure forms an implicit synchronization template that can be r...
