Pixel Approximation Errors in Common Watershed Algorithms
Abstract. The exact, subpixel watershed algorithm delivers very accurate watershed boundaries based on a spline interpolation, but is slow and only works in 2D. On the other hand, ...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Faster Algorithms for All-pairs Approximate Shortest Paths in Undirected Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...

A Pseudopolynomial Time O (log n )-Approximation Algorithm for Art Gallery Problems
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...
