Most existing Multi-View Stereo (MVS) algorithms employ the image matching method using Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC) to estimate the depth of an object. The accuracy of the estimated depth depends on the step size of the depth in NCC-based window matching. The step size of the depth must be small for accurate 3D reconstruction, while the small step significantly increases computational co...

TCP Slow Start exponentially increases the congestion window size to detect the proper congestion window for a network path. This often results in significant packet loss, while breaking off Slow Start using a limited slow start threshold may lead to an overly conservative congestion window size. This problem is especially severe in high speed networks. In this paper we present a new TCP startu...

land surface temperature (lst) is a significant parameter for many applications. many studies have proposedvarious algorithms, such as the split-window method, for retrieving surface temperatures from two spectrallyadjacent thermal infrared bands of satellite data. each algorithm is developed for a limited study area andapplication. in this paper, as part of developing an optimal split-window m...

Event sequences often contain continuous variability at different levels. In other words, their properties and characteristics change at different rates, concurrently. For example, the sales of a product may slowly become more frequent over a period of several weeks, but there may be interesting variation within a week at the same time. To provide an accurate and robust “view” of such multi-lev...
