The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
We develop a variant of the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search procedure for stochastic simulation optimization that is designed to avoid many of the weaknesses encumbering such dire...
This paper presents a general graph-theoretic technique for simultaneously segmenting multiple closed surfaces in volumetric images, which employs a novel graph-construction scheme...

Previous interactive works have used springs, heuristics, and dynamics for surface placement applications. We present an analytical technique for kilohertz rate manipulation of CA...
Motivated by applications in architecture and manufacturing, we discuss the problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels. This leads to the new concept of semi-d...
