This paper proposes a general method for improving image descriptors using discriminant projections. Two methods based on Linear Discriminant Analysis have been recently introduce...
We investigate the efficient iterative solution of large-scale sparse linear systems on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our parallel approach is based on a multilevel ILU precondit...
—We propose an active contour (a.k.a. snake) that takes the shape of an ellipse. Its evolution is driven by surface terms made of two contributions: the integral of the data over...
Abstract With potential application to a variety of industries, fleet sizing problems present a prevalent and significant challenge for engineers and managers. This is especially t...
In this work we present the Partner Units Problem as a novel challenge for optimization methods. It captures a certain type of configuration problem that frequently occurs in indu...
