In this paper we consider the problem of computing globally minimal continuous curves and surfaces for image segmentation and 3D reconstruction. This is solved using a maximal flo...
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...
We study the efficient numerical simulation of laser surface remelting, a process to improve the surface quality of steel components. To this end we use adaptive grids, which are...
The optimization of spacecraft trajectories can be formulated as a global optimization task. The complexity of the problem depends greatly on the problem formulation, on the spacec...
This paper considers the design of efficient quantizers for a distributed source coding system. The information is encoded at independent terminals and transmitted across separate...
