Given a continuous function f : X → IR on a topological space X, its level set f−1 (a) changes continuously as the real value a changes. Consequently, the connected components...
The problem of extracting continuous structures from noisy or cluttered images is a difficult one. Successful extraction depends critically on the ability to balance prior constra...
The aim of this work is to propose an adaptation of optimal path based interactive tools for image segmentation (related to Live-Wire [12] and Intelligent Scissors [18] approaches)...
We present a model for the optimal placement of mono- and bipolar probes in radio-frequency (RF) ablation. The model is based on a numerical computation of the probe's electri...
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...
