A wide range of low level vision problems have been formulated in terms of finding the most probable assignment of a Markov Random Field (or equivalently the lowest energy configu...
Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...
: We describe a method to find low cost shift schedules with a time-varying service level that is always above a specified minimum. Most previous approaches used a two-step procedu...
When we look at images taken from outdoor scenes, much of the information perceived is due to the ligthing conditions. In these scenes, the solar beams interact with the atmosphere...
: Shape recognition is the field of computer vision which addresses the problem of finding out whether a query shape lies or not in a shape database, up to a certain invariance. Mo...
