Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
Algorithms based on following local gradient information are surprisingly effective for certain classes of constraint satisfaction problems. Unfortunately, previous local search a...
A probabilistic system for recognition of individual objects is presented. The objects to recognize are composed of constellations of features, and features from a same object shar...
Given a query point p, typically the position of a current client, and two datasets S and R, a transitive nearest neighbor (TNN) search returns a pair of objects (s, r) ∈ S × R...
