We present a fast, robust and automatic method for computing central paths through tubular structures for application to virtual endoscopy. The key idea is to utilize a medial sur...
- Rate-distortion theory is applied to the problem of joint compression and classification. A Lagrangian distortion measure is used to consider both the squared Euclidean error in ...
We study the problem of finding an outlier-free subset of a set of points (or a probability distribution) in n-dimensional Euclidean space. As in [BFKV 99], a point x is defined t...
In the k-medoid problem, given a dataset P, we are asked to choose k points in P as the medoids. The optimal medoid set minimizes the average Euclidean distance between the points ...
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...
