Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
Abstract. We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. We view a traditional curve evolution energy functional as a negative l...

Motivated by the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) relaxation method of Jalali and Weissman, we propose a lossy compression algorithm for continuous amplitude sources that relies on...
Abstract: The problem of global illumination is virtually synonymouswith solving the rendering equation. Although a great deal of research has been directed toward Monte Carlo and ...
phies are also mentioned and a common mathematical abstraction for all these inverses problems will be presented. By focusing on a simple linear forward model, first a synthetic an...
