We propose a method of image segmentation by integrating pairwise attraction and directional repulsion derived from local grouping and figure-ground cues. These two kinds of pairw...
The crossing number problem is to find the smallest number of edge crossings necessary when drawing a graph into the plane. Eventhough the problem is NP-hard, we are interested in ...
Occlusion and lack of visibility in dense crowded scenes make it very difficult to track individual people correctly and consistently. This problem is particularly hard to tackle i...
Abstract. We investigate mathematical formulations and solution techniques for a variant of the Connected Subgraph Problem. Given a connected graph with costs and profits associat...
Submodular function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important problems including Max Cut in directed/undirected graphs and in hy...
