Non-rigid object alignment is especially challenging when only a single appearance template is available and target and template images fail to match. Two sources of discrepancy b...
The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become ve...

Abstract. Differential motion estimation is based on detecting brightness changes in local image structures. Filters approximating the local gradient are applied to the image seque...
In this paper, we address the matrix completion problem and propose a novel algorithm based on a smoothed rank function (SRF) approximation. Among available algorithms like FPCA a...
Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...
