Emerging high speed Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (B-ISDN) will carry tra c for services such as video-on-demand and video teleconferencing, which require resource reservation along the path on which the tra c is sent. As a result, such networks will need e ective admission control algorithms. The simplest approach is to use greedy admission control; in other words, accept ever...

This thesis addresses the problem of detecting objects in images of complex scenes. Strong patterns exist in the types and spatial arrangements of objects that occur in scenes, and we seek to exploit these patterns to improve detection performance. We introduce a novel formalism—weighted geometric grammars (WGGs)—for flexibly representing and recognizing combinations of objects and their spatia...
