We propose a new method for fitting mixture models that performs component selection and does not require external initialization. The novelty of our approach includes: a minimum ...
—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
Abstract. In this paper, five previous Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for multimodal function optimization are reviewed. A new and a successful PSO based algorithm, n...
A new approach to spatioterminological reasoning is presented which is based on a hybrid knowledge representation system architecture and on a representation of the RCC family tree...
We present a new network diagram authoring tool, Dunnart, that provides continuous network layout. It continuously adjusts the layout in response to user interaction, while still m...
