We present a new series of distributed constraint satisfaction algorithms, the distributed breakout algorithms, which is inspired by local search algorithms for solving the constr...
This paper describes the implementationof a decision support systemthat helps non-technicalfront-line reception staff handle complex enquiries on a wide range of local government ...
Exhibiting new features and likely related matching techniques to efficiently retrieve images from databases remains an open problem. This paper is first devoted to such a novel d...
This paper presents a novel and efficient facial image representation based on local binary pattern (LBP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from whi...
We describe a novel variational segmentation algorithm designed to split an image in two regions based on their intensity distributions. A functional is proposed to integrate the ...
