Abstract—A common problem encountered in recognizing symbols in real-scene images is the perspective deformation. In this paper, a recognition method resistant to perspective def...
We describe a new subdivision method to efficiently compute the topology and the arrangement of implicit planar curves. We emphasize that the output topology and arrangement are g...
We consider the policy search approach to reinforcement learning. We show that if a “baseline distribution” is given (indicating roughly how often we expect a good policy to v...

We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
We propose a method for recovering the affine geometry of a dynamically textured plane from a video sequence taken by an uncalibrated, fixed, perspective camera. Some instances ...
