A new particle filtering technique is proposed which addresses the problem of mode preservation in the approximation of multi-modal posteriors. The key is a resampling step which...
Recent advances in flash media have made it an attractive alternative for data storage in a wide spectrum of computing devices, such as embedded sensors, mobile phones, PDA's...
We study efficient importance sampling techniques for particle filtering (PF) when either (a) the observation likelihood (OL) is frequently multimodal or heavy-tailed, or (b) the s...
With the increased abilities for automated data collection made possible by modern technology, the typical sizes of data collections have continued to grow in recent years. In suc...
We present a novel framework for the efficient simulation and animation of discrete thin shells. Our method takes a point sampled surface as input and performs all necessary compu...
