We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
Given an object model and a black-box measure of similarity between the model and candidate targets, we consider visual object tracking as a numerical optimization problem. During...
The shape of a NURBS curve or patch is defined by the location of its control points, the weights associated with these points, and the parameter intervals, also called the knot v...
We consider the problem of pricing American options when the volatility of the underlying asset price is stochastic. No specific stochastic volatility model is assumed for the st...
In contrast with the growth of plants and trees, human organs can undergo signi cant changes in shape through a variety of global transformations during the growth period, such as...
