This paper presents a new algorithm for enhancing the efficiency of simulation-based optimisation using local search and neural network metamodels. The local search strategy is ba...
We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
Image matting is the process of extracting a soft segmentation of an object in an image as defined by the matting equation. Most current techniques focus largely on computing the ...
Text extraction in mixed-type documents is a pre-processing and necessary stage for many document applications. In mixed-type color documents, text, drawings and graphics appear w...
Abstract. This paper proposes a new method to compute connectivity information from diffusion weighted images. It is inspired by graphbased approaches to connectivity definition,...
