Interactive digital matting, the process of extracting a foreground object from an image based on limited user input, is an important task in image and video editing. From a compu...
Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
In this paper, we present a memetic algorithm with novel local optimizer hybridization strategy for constrained optimization. The developed MA consists of multiple cycles. In each ...
The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is able to model a wide variety of distributed reasoning tasks that arise in multiagent systems. Unfortunately, existing met...
