This paper restates the shape from shading problem regarding both surface modeling and optimization. We combine the use of a B-spline as 3D model for the scene surface and the use...
We develop a simulated annealing technique to jointly optimize a distributed quantization structure meant to maximize the asymptotic error exponent of a downstream classifier or d...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
We propose a new fibre tracking algorithm for cardiac DTMRI that parts with the locally "greedy" paradigm intrinsic to conventional tracking algorithms. We formulate the...
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...
