Object tracking and detection after occlusion via numerical hybrid local and global mode-seeking
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...

Genetically controlled random search: a global optimization method for continuous multidimensional functions
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...

An Iterated Local Search Approach for Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Abstract. Since minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is an NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, applying techniques from global optimization appears to be promising for r...

Combining Global with Local Texture Information for Image Retrieval Applications
This paper proposes a new texture descriptor to guide the search and retrieval in image databases. It extracts rich information from global and local primitives of textured images...

An information global minimization algorithm using the local improvement technique
In this paper, the global optimization problem with an objective function that is multiextremal that satisfies the Lipschitz condition over a hypercube is considered. An algorithm...
