Abstract— Particle Filters have been widely used as a powerful optimization tool for nonlinear, non-Gaussian dynamic models such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) a...
— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
As the amount of data used by programs increases due to the growth of hardware storage capacity and computing power, efficient memory usage becomes a key factor for performance. Si...
Abstract. We present a markerless real-time, model-based 3D face tracking methodology. The system combines two robust and complimentary optimization-based strategies, namely active...
The space of images is known to be a non-linear subspace that is difficult to model. This paper derives an algorithm that walks within this space. We seek a manifold through the ...
