Determining the position and orientation of a workpiece relative to a manufacturing device is a prerequisite for machining path planning. If the workpiece is freeform and if it co...
Nonlinear dimensionality reduction is formulated here as the problem of trying to find a Euclidean feature-space embedding of a set of observations that preserves as closely as p...
—This paper introduces a novel optimization paradigm for increasing the throughput of digital systems. The basic idea consists of transforming fixed-latency units into variable-...
Matching points between multiple images of a scene is a vital component of many computer vision tasks. Point matching involves creating a succinct and discriminative descriptor fo...
We introduce a new graph-theoretic approach to image segmentation based on minimizing a novel class of `mean cut' cost functions. Minimizing these cost functions corresponds ...
