Stochastic Filtering for Motion Trajectory in Image Sequences Using a Monte Carlo Filter with Estimation of Hyper-Parameters
False matching due to errors in feature extraction and changes in illumination between frames may occur in feature tracking in image sequences. False matching leads to outliers in...

Gaussian Adaptation as a unifying framework for continuous black-box optimization and adaptive Monte Carlo sampling
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
