We propose a new multiphase level set framework for image segmentation using the Mumford and Shah model, for piecewise constant and piecewise smooth optimal approximations. The pro...
Abstract. In this paper, the approximation properties of the prolate spheroidal wave functions of order zero (PSWFs) are studied, and a set of optimal error estimates are derived f...
A new particle filtering technique is proposed which addresses the problem of mode preservation in the approximation of multi-modal posteriors. The key is a resampling step which...
One common characterization of how simple hill-climbing optimization methods can fail is that they become trapped in local optima - a state where no small modi cation of the curren...
We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
