P3 & Beyond: Solving Energies with Higher Order Cliques
In this paper we extend the class of energy functions for which the optimal -expansion and -swap moves can be computed in polynomial time. Specifically, we introduce a class of hi...

Variational B-spline level-set method for fast image segmentation
In the field of image segmentation, most of level-set-based active contour approaches are based on a discrete representation of the associated implicit function. We present in thi...

Robust Chebyshev FIR Equalization
Abstract—In Chebyshev finite-impulse response (FIR) equalization, we design an FIR filter that minimizes the Chebyshev equalization error, i.e., the maximum absolute deviation ...

Algorithmic Differentiation: Application to Variational Problems in Computer Vision
Abstract— Many vision problems can be formulated as minimization of appropriate energy functionals. These energy functionals are usually minimized, based on the calculus of varia...

Simulating independence: new constructions of condensers, ramsey graphs, dispersers, and extractors
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...
