This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
We consider 3D object retrieval in which a polygonal mesh serves as a query and similar objects are retrieved from a collection of 3D objects. Algorithms proceed first by a normal...
Abstract. Nearest-neighbor queries in high-dimensional space are of high importance in various applications, especially in content-based indexing of multimedia data. For an optimiz...
This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
We present a novel approach for learning patterns (sub-images) shared by multiple images without prior knowledge about the number and the positions of the patterns in the images. ...
