We introduce Coherent Point Drift (CPD), a novel probabilistic method for nonrigid registration of point sets. The registration is treated as a Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation ...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
Owing to their high accuracy and ease of formulation, there has been great interest in applying convex optimization techniques, particularly that of semidefinite programming (SDP)...
In the numerical simulation of many practical problems in physics and engineering, finite volume methods are an important and popular class of discretization methods due to the loc...
This paper introduces dual-quorum replication, a novel data replication algorithm designed to support Internet edge services. Edge services allow clients to access Internet service...
