Gene Expression Biclustering Using Random Walk Strategies
A biclustering algorithm, based on a greedy technique and enriched with a local search strategy to escape poor local minima, is proposed. The algorithm starts with an initial rando...

Local or Global Minima: Flexible Dual-Front Active Contours
Most variational active contour models are designed to find the “desirable” local minima of data-dependent energy functionals with the hope of avoiding undesirable configurat...

Fitting of 3D Circles and Ellipses Using a Parameter Decomposition Approach
Many optimization processes encounter a problem in efficiently reaching a global minimum or a near global minimum. Traditional methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and t...

Learning image alignment without local minima for face detection and tracking
Active Appearance Models (AAMs) have been extensively used for face alignment during the last 20 years. While AAMs have numerous advantages relative to alternate approaches, they ...

A New Approach for Skew Correction of Documents Based on Particle Swarm Optimization
This paper presents a novel approach for skew correction of documents. Skew correction is modelled as an optimization problem, and for the first time, Particle Swarm Optimization...

The 3D-3D Registration Problem Revisited
We describe a new framework for globally solving the 3D-3D registration problem with unknown point correspondences. This problem is significant as it is frequently encountered in ...

Moving Forward in Structure From Motion
It is well-known that forward motion induces a large number of local minima in the instantaneous least-squares reprojection error. This is caused in part by singularities in the e...
