This paper develops a variant of Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm for solving discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function is stochastic and can be eva...
Deformable template models, in which a shape model and its corresponding appearance model are deformed to optimally fit an object in the image, have proven successful in many medic...
Abstract. A main focus of statistical shape analysis is the description of variability of a population of geometric objects. In this paper, we present work in progress towards mode...

To automatically register foreground target in cluttered images, we present a novel hierarchical graph representation and a stochastic computing strategy in Bayesian framework. Th...

The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
