The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamentally important for creating better local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant...
Existing sequential feature-based registration algorithms involving search typically either select features randomly (eg. the RANSAC[8] approach) or assume a predefined, intuitive...
This paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Existing approximation methods to address the TSP known to be state-of-t...
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

We develop a framework for the image segmentation problem based on a new graph-theoretic formulation of clustering. The approach is motivated by the analogies between the intuitiv...
