Perceptual Grouping and Segmentation by Stochastic Clustering
We use cluster analysis as a unifying principle for problems from low, middle and high level vision. The clustering problem is viewed as graph partitioning, where nodes represent ...

The Directed Minimum-Degree Spanning Tree Problem
Consider a directed graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and a root vertex r ∈ V . The DMDST problem for G is one of constructing a spanning tree rooted at r, whose maximal degree is...

Hierarchical Convex Approximation of 3D Shapes for Fast Region Selection
Given a 3D solid model S represented by a tetrahedral mesh, we describe a novel algorithm to compute a hierarchy of convex polyhedra that tightly enclose S. The hierarchy can be b...

Restart Schedules for Ensembles of Problem Instances
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...
