Development of a Genetic Algorithm for Optimization of Nanoalloys
A genetic algorithm has been developed in order to find the global minimum of platinum-palladium nanoalloy clusters. The effect of biasing the initial population and predating sp...

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...

Toward Global Minimum through Combined Local Minima
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...

Image Segmentation with Minimum Mean Cut
We introduce a new graph-theoretic approach to image segmentation based on minimizing a novel class of `mean cut' cost functions. Minimizing these cost functions corresponds ...
