We propose a method for multi-object segmentation in a projection plane. Our algorithm requires a stereo camera system called Subtraction Stereo, which extracts foreground informa...
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
In the watermark detection scenario, also known as zero-bit watermarking, a watermark, carrying no hidden message, is inserted in a piece of content. The watermark detector checks ...
We propose a structural credit risk model for consumer lending using option theory and the concept of the value of the consumer’s reputation. Using Brazilian empirical data and ...
