—Differential evolution (DE) is arguably one of the most powerful stochastic real-parameter optimization algorithms in current use. DE operates through similar computational step...
L1 (also referred to as the 1-norm or Lasso) penalty based formulations have been shown to be effective in problem domains when noisy features are present. However, the L1 penalty...
Multivariate image segmentation is a challenging task, influenced by large intraclass variation that reduces class distinguishability as well as increased feature space sparseness ...
Abstract--Image segmentation plays an important role in computer vision and image analysis. In this paper, image segmentation is formulated as a labeling problem under a probabilit...
Sparse representations over redundant dictionaries offer an efficient paradigm for signal representation. Recently block-sparsity has been put forward as a prior condition for so...
