Recent new developments in the electronics have leaded to the manufacturing of new high-resolution digital sensors (up to 39 mega pixel) for terrestrial cameras. These technological innovations, together with new processing algorithms of image matching, allow to obtain image-based surface models in an almost automatic way with an accuracy and a detail level that can be surely compared with the ...

Conventional methods for shape analysis, based upon Procrustes and PCA, seem incapable of dealing with ‘non-landmark’ features, meaning measured positions not associated with well defined locations. This is due to an assumption of homogeneous errors, associated with an attempt to extract linear models with biologically meaningful descriptions. We propose a shape analysis system based upon the d...

Paper Abstract Objective metrics-based evaluation of any project and person is essential for management. As put in succinctly by a renowned manager that if you cannot measure 'it' you cannot manage 'it'. Evaluation of software projects and software engineers has been an elusive target for software engineering practitioners. How to say that one software engineer is better compared to another and...

In this paper we present a measurement-based worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis method. Exhaustive end-to-end execution-time measurements are computationally intractable in most cases. Therefore, we propose to measure execution times of subparts of the application code and then compose these times into a safe WCET bound. This raises a number of challenges to be solved. First, there is th...
