— In an incompletely specified function f, don’t care values can be chosen to minimize the number of variables to represent f. It is shown that, in incompletely specified fun...
Optimizing the ratio of two functions of binary variables is a common task in many image analysis applications. In general, such a ratio is not amenable to graph-cut based optimiz...
This paper presents a new image segmentation framework which employs a shape prior in the form of an edge strength function to introduce a higher-level influence on the segmentati...
It is possible to extend the basic notion of "function call" to allow functions to have multiple return points. This turns out to be a surprisingly useful mechanism. Thi...
Transmitting compressed data can reduce inter-processor communication traffic and create new opportunities for DVS (dynamic voltage scaling) in distributed embedded systems. Howe...
