In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...

This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
A wide range of computer vision applications such as distance field computation, shape from shading, and shape representation require an accurate solution of a particular Hamilton...
While performance specifications are verified before sign-off for a modern nanometer scale design, extensive application of optical proximity correction substantially alters the l...
