The paper presents an efficient solution to decision problems where direct partial information on the distribution of the states of nature is available, either by observations of ...
The extraction of contours using deformable models, such as snakes, is a problem of great interest in computer vision, particular in areas of medical imaging and tracking. Snakes ...

An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic localization of faces or headand-shoulder regions in vis...
We propose an entropy-based sensor selection heuristic for localization. Given 1) a prior probability distribution of the target location, and 2) the locations and the sensing mod...
