Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
Dealing with imprecise information is a common characteristic in real-world problems. Specifically, when the source of the information are physical sensors, a level of noise in t...
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm to solve
global shape registration problems. We use gray-scale “images”
to represent source shapes, and propose a novel twocompo...

— The scaling properties of multimodal optimization methods have seldom been studied, and existing studies often concentrated on the idea that all local optima of a multimodal fu...
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
