We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
Algebraic Point Set Surfaces (APSS) define a smooth surface from a set of points using local moving least-squares (MLS) fitting of algebraic spheres. In this paper we first revisi...
A model based structural recognition approach is used for 3D detection and localization of vehicles. It is theoretically founded by syntactic pattern recognition using coordinate g...
Research in relational data mining has two major directions: finding global models of a relational database and the discovery of local relational patterns within a database. While...
A measure of stability for a wide class of pattern recognition algorithms is introduced to cope with overfitting in classification problems. Based on this concept, constructive me...
