A fully automatic 3D-2D articulated registration algorithm for aligning a whole-body human geometry to a 2D X-ray image is presented. Domain prior in the form of a hierarchical mo...
The purpose of this paper is to generalize a result by Donoho, Huo, Elad and Bruckstein on sparse representations of signals/images in a union of two orthonormal bases. We conside...
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...
When a large amount of data are missing, or when multiple hidden nodes exist, learning parameters in Bayesian networks (BNs) becomes extremely difficult. This paper presents a lea...
We present a discrete spectral framework for the sparse or cardinality-constrained solution of a generalized Rayleigh quotient. This NPhard combinatorial optimization problem is c...
