We present methods to obtain computationally efficient proposal distributions for Bayesian reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) based image segmentation. The slow con...
We present ongoing work on a project for automatic recognition of spontaneous facial actions. Spontaneous facial expressions differ substantially from posed expressions, similar t...

We investigate Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) procedures for the random sampling of some one-dimensional lattice paths with constraints, for various constraints. We will see that...
In this paper, we focus on the design of Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques in a statistical registration framework based on finite element basis (FE). Due to the use of FE basis...
A method of rare event simulation, termed here quantum simulation, and known also (with some variations) as population Monte Carlo, and Sequential Markov Chain simulation, is appli...
