Most algorithms for real-time tracking of deformable shapes provide sub-optimal solutions for a suitable energy minimization task: The search space is typically considered too lar...
Abstract. A new algorithm for interactive image segmentation is proposed. Besides the traditional appearance and gradient information, a new Generic Shape Prior (GSP) knowledge whi...
Both simulated annealing (SA) and the genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic and derivative-free optimization technique. SA operates on one solution at a time, while the GA mainta...

The standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a novel evolutionary algorithm in which each particle studies its own previous best solution and the group’s previous ...
Many classification algorithms use the concept of distance or similarity between patterns. Previous work has shown that it is advantageous to optimize general Euclidean distances (...
