— Multi-agent coordination problems can be cast as distributed optimization tasks. Probability Collectives (PCs) are techniques that deal with such problems in discrete and conti...
We present a novel method to extract iso-surfaces from distance volumes. It generates high quality semi-regular multiresolution meshes of arbitrary topology. Our technique proceed...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
In this paper we propose a technique for segmenting images by texture content with application to indexing images in a large image database. Using a quad-tree decomposition, textu...
