Globally Optimal Active Contours, Sequential Monte Carlo and On-Line Learning for Vessel Segmentation
In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based propagation approach for the segmentation of vascular structures in 3D volumes. Because of pathologies and inhomogeneities, many de...

Modeling Sub-90nm On-Chip Variation Using Monte Carlo Method for DFM
- For sub-90nm technology nodes and below, random fluctuations of within-die physical process properties are also known as random on-chip variation (OCV). It impacts on the VLSI/So...

Sequential Monte Carlo Adaptation in Low-Anisotropy Participating Media
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
