This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
This paper presents an attempt to construct a ”practical” CSP algorithm that assigns a variable with 2 values at every step. Such a strategy has been successfully used for cons...
Most ancient Chinese padlocks are key-operated locks with splitting springs, and partially keyless letter-combination locks. They can be characterized based on the types of locks, ...
This paper presents a novel feature set for visual tracking that is derived from “oriented energies”. More specifically, energy measures are used to capture a target’s multi...
As tools and systems for producing and disseminating image data have improved significantly in recent years, the volume of digital images has grown rapidly. An efficient mechanism ...
