We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
Random Forests were introduced by Breiman for feature (variable) selection and improved predictions for decision tree models. The resulting model is often superior to AdaBoost and ...

Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
A novel adaptive and patch-based approach is proposed for image regularization and representation. The method is unsupervised and based on a pointwise selection of small image patc...
