— To effectively navigate in their environments and accurately reach their target locations, mobile robots require a globally consistent map of the environment. The problem of le...
Most existing appearance models for visual tracking usually construct a pixel-based representation of object appearance so that they are incapable of fully capturing both global an...
In this paper, we present a memetic algorithm with novel local optimizer hybridization strategy for constrained optimization. The developed MA consists of multiple cycles. In each ...
Abstract--This paper presents local spline regression for semisupervised classification. The core idea in our approach is to introduce splines developed in Sobolev space to map the...
A multi-stage approach is presented for thresholding document images, along with its application. The proposed method is based on two stages. Global thresholding is used in first ...
