An empirical study is performed on the local-optimum space of graph bipartitioning. We examine some statistical features of the fitness landscape. They include the cost-distance c...
This paper prescribes an incremental procedure to construct roadmaps of unknown environments. Recall that a roadmap is a geometric structure that a robot uses to plan a path betwe...

Abstract. Let G denote a directed graph with adjacency matrix Q and indegree matrix D. We consider the Kirchhoff matrix L = D - Q, sometimes referred to as the directed Laplacian. ...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for contour based object detection. Compared to previous work, our contribution is three-fold. 1) A novel shape matching scheme suitabl...
We describe an approach for interactive collision detection and proximity computations on massive models composed of millions of geometric primitives. We address issues related to...
