—Stochastic relaxation aims at finding the minimum of a fitness function by identifying a proper sequence of distributions, in a given model, that minimize the expected value o...
In this paper, the problem of determining if a given sequential specification can be made to fit a predetermined set of shape constraints is explored. Shape constraints are constr...
This work presents a piecewise linear approximation to non-linear Point Distribution Models for modelling the human hand. The work utilises the natural segmentation of shape space...
* In this paper, we present a study of hierarchically characterizing image content from coarse level to fine level conducted using a series of shape features as a case in point. I...
We analyse the statistical behavior of query-associated quantities in query-logs, namely, the sum and mean of IDF of query terms, otherwise known as query specificity and query mea...
