This paper presents a theoretical definition for designing EDAs called Elitist Convergent Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (ECEDA), and a practical implementation: the Boltzm...
We present a new method for multi-object segmentation in a maximum a posteriori estimation framework. Our method is motivated by the observation that neighboring or coupling objec...
We describe a new approach for creating concise high-level generative models from range images or other approximate representations of real objects. Using data from a variety of a...
We propose a novel affine-invariant modeling of hand shapeappearance images, which offers a compact and descriptive representation of the hand configurations. Our approach combine...
—We propose an automatic approach to soft color segmentation, which produces soft color segments with an appropriate amount of overlapping and transparency essential to synthesiz...
