Independence--the study of what is relevant to a given problem of reasoning--is an important AI topic. In this paper, we investigate several notions of conditional independence in...
We describe a new subdivision method to efficiently compute the topology and the arrangement of implicit planar curves. We emphasize that the output topology and arrangement are g...
Active contour and surface models, also known as deformable models, constitute a class of powerful segmentation techniques. Geometric deformable models implemented via level-set m...
— Topology control and routing protocols are used by designers of wireless packet data networks to lower the node degree, simplify routing and lower the nodes’ energy consumpti...
Preserving topological properties of objects during thinning procedures is an important issue in the field of image analysis. In the case of 2-D digital images (i.e. images defi...
