The 2.1D sketch is a layered representation of occluding and occluded surfaces of the scene. Extracting the 2.1D sketch from a single image is a difficult and important problem ar...
This paper constructs strong-stability-preserving general linear time-stepping methods that are well suited for hyperbolic PDEs discretized by the method of lines. These methods ge...
In this paper, we present an object contour tracking approach using graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC). Our proposed algorithm does not need any a priori global shape model,...
Contours and surfaces are basic qualities which are processed by the visual system to aid the successful behavior of autonomous beings within the environment. There is increasing e...
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
