Towards building a Crowd-Sourced Sky Map
We describe a system that builds a high dynamic-range and wide-angle image of the night sky by combining a large set of input images. The method makes use of pixelrank information in the individual input images to improve a “consensus” pixel rank in the combined image. Because it only makes use of ranks and the complexity of the algorithm is linear in the number of images, the method is useful ...

Can business while staying true to its purpose, to maximize profit, achieve sustainability? This paper...
متن کاملCrowd-sourced reconstruction of building interiors
Location-based services (LBS) have gained huge commercial and scientific interest in recent years, due to the ubiquitous and free availability of maps, global positioning systems, and smartphones. To date, maps and positioning solutions are mostly only available for outdoor use. However, humans spend most of their time indoors, rendering indoor LBS interesting for applications such as location-...
