Globally Optimal Estimation of Nonrigid Image Distortion
Abstract Image alignment in the presence of non-rigid distortions is a challenging task. Typically, this involves estimating the parameters of a dense deformation field that warps...

Synthesis for PCTL in Parametric Markov Decision Processes
Abstract. In parametric Markov Decision Processes (PMDPs), transition probabilities are not fixed, but are given as functions over a set of parameters. A PMDP denotes a family of ...
