—In this paper, we present fast and efficient methods for the lossy encoding of object boundaries that are given as eight-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a p...
A Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is a fundamental problem that can formalize various applications related to multi-agent cooperation. Since it is NP-hard, consi...
Active contour formulations predominate current minimization of the Mumford-Shah functional (MSF) for image segmentation and filtering. Unfortunately, these formulations necessitat...
We present 1 − approximation algorithms for the maximum matching problem in location aware unit disc graphs and in growth-bounded graphs. The algorithm for unit disk graph is loc...
Optimal mode selection for video coding is important in minimizing visual distortion given a rate constraint, and it has been studied in the literature using a single previous mac...
