We present a particle filter-based target tracking algorithm for FLIR imagery. A dual foreground and background model is proposed for target representation which supports robust ...
In Monte-Carlo photon-tracing methods energy-carrying particles are traced in an environment to generate hit points on object surfaces for simulating global illumination. The surf...
In this paper, we describe a nature-inspired optimization algorithm based on bee foraging behavior. This algorithm combines the high performance of bee path-integration navigation...
In this paper we embed evolutionary computation into statistical learning theory. First, we outline the connection between large margin optimization and statistical learning and s...
This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...
