In this work a new optimization method, called the heuristic Kalman algorithm (HKA), is presented. This new algorithm is proposed as an alternative approach for solving continuous,...
Natural image matting is an extremely challenging image processing problem due to its ill-posed nature. It often requires skilled user interaction to aid definition of foreground ...

Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
In spite of the omnipresence of parallel (multi-core) systems, the predominant strategy to evaluate window-based stream joins is still strictly sequential, mostly just straightfor...
Pedestrian detection from images is an important and yet challenging task. The conventional methods usually identify human figures using image features inside the local regions. In...
