In this paper we describe a system to reliably localize the position of the speaker’s face and mouth in videophone sequences. A statistical scheme based on a subspace method is p...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
The allocation of office space in any large institution is usually a problematical issue, which often demands a substantial amount of time to perform manually. The result of this a...
We propose an efficient method for complex optimization problems that often arise in computer vision. While our method is general and could be applied to various tasks, it was mai...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
