Abstract. This paper describes a novel approach to recovering a parametric deformation that optimally registers one image to another. The method proceeds by constructing a global c...
We present a deterministic strongly polynomial algorithm that computes the permanent of a nonnegative n × n matrix to within a multiplicative factor of en. To this end we develop...
We study non-overlapping axis-parallel packings of 3D boxes with profits into a dedicated bigger box where rotation is either forbidden or permitted; we wish to maximize the total...
