In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
Two approaches are proposed for the design of tied-mixture hidden Markov models (TMHMM). One approach improves parameter sharing via partial tying of TMHMM states. To facilitate ty...
Active model-based segmentation has frequently been used in medical image processing with considerable success. Although the active model-based method was initially viewed as an op...
