We propose a mid-level image segmentation framework that combines multiple figure-ground hypothesis (FG) constrained at different locations and scales, into interpretations that t...
Sensor deployment is a critical issue, as it affects the cost and detection capabilities of a wireless sensor network. Although many previous efforts have addressed this issue, mo...
In numerous applications of image processing, e.g. astronomical and medical imaging, data-noise is well-modeled by a Poisson distribution. This motivates the use of the negative-lo...
One of the main tasks in analog design is the sizing of the circuit parameters, such as transistor lengths and widths, in order to obtain optimal circuit performances, such as hig...
In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
