Hard problems for metaheuristic search can be a source of insight for developing better methods. We examine a challenging instance of such a problem that has exactly two local opt...
The problem of completing a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries is often encountered in the analysis of incomplete data sets exhibiting an underlying factor model with app...
We propose a new approach called "appearance clustering" for scene analysis. The key idea in this approach is that the scene points can be clustered according to their s...
We present a comprehensive treatment of 3D object tracking by posing it as a nonlinear state estimation problem. The measurements are derived using the outputs of shape-encoded fi...
The problem of tracking a varying number of non-rigid objects has two major difficulties. First, the observation models and target distributions can be highly non-linear and non-Ga...
