The recently developed i-vector framework for speaker recognition has set a new performance standard in the research field. An i-vector is a compact representation of a speaker u...
We investigate in this article the rigid registration of large sets of points, generally sampled from surfaces. We formulate this problem as a general Maximum-Likelihood (ML) estim...
Covariance and correlation estimates have important applications in data mining. In the presence of outliers, classical estimates of covariance and correlation matrices are not re...

This paper analyzes the robustness issue in three segmentation approaches: the iterative relative fuzzy object extraction, the watershed transforms (WT) by image foresting transfo...
When a new (global) constraint is introduced in local search, measures for the penalty and variable conflicts of that constraint must be defined, and incremental algorithms for m...
