DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
Differential Evolution (DE) is a novel evolutionary approach capable of handling non-differentiable, non-linear and multi-modal objective functions. DE has been consistently ranked...
Directional Coherence Maps as proposed by Guo in '98 are a very efficient acceleration technique for ray tracing based global illumination renderers. It vastly reduces the nu...
Interactive audio-visual (AV) applications such as Free Viewpoint Video (FVV) aim to enable unrestricted spatio-temporal navigation within multiple camera environments. Current vi...
Abstract. The need for location-based services has motivated an important research effort in the efficient processing of location-dependent queries. Most of the existing approaches...
