For many real-life engineering optimization problems, the cost of one objective function evaluation can take several minutes or hours. In this context, a popular approach to reduce...
This paper deals with a new interest points detector. Unlike most standard detectors which concentrate on the local shape of the signal, the main objective of this new operator is...
In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
—This paper presents a novel probabilistic approach to hierarchical, exemplar-based shape matching. No feature correspondence is needed among exemplars, just a suitable pairwise ...
Crowd-sourcing tools such as Mechanical Turk are popular for annotation of large scale image data sets. Typically, these annotations consist of bounding boxes or coarse outlines o...
