Abstract--We address the problem of computing a local orientation map in a digital image. We show that standard image gray level quantization causes a strong bias in the repartitio...
We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a s...
In this paper we construct the linear support vector machine (SVM) based on the nonlinear rescaling (NR) methodology (see [9, 11, 10] and references therein). The formulation of t...
Despite extensive testing in the development phase, residual defects can be a great threat to dependability in the operational phase. This paper studies the utility of lowcost, ge...
Region merging methods consist of improving an initial segmentation by merging some pairs of neighboring regions. In this paper, we consider a segmentation as a set of connected r...
