We present an image editing tool that allows to deform and composite image regions using an intuitive sketch-based interface. Users simply draw the outline of the source image reg...
A new evolutionary method named “Genetic Network Programming with Control Nodes, GNPcn” has been proposed and applied to determine the timing of buying and selling stocks. GNP...
