Elastically deformable models
- Computer Graphics
, 1987
"... The goal of visual modeling research is to develop mathematical models and associated algorithms for the analysis and synthesis of visual information. Image analysis and synthesis characterize the domains of computer vision and computer graphics, respectively. For nearly three decades, the vision an ..."

, involves the analysis of images to infer object models. Visual modeling takes a unified approach to vision and graphics via modeling that exploits computational physics. In addition to geometry, physics-based modeling employs forces, torques, internal strain energies, and other physical quantities
Deformable models in medical image analysis: A survey
- Medical Image Analysis
, 1996
"... This article surveys deformable models, a promising and vigorously researched computer-assisted medical image analysis technique. Among model-based techniques, deformable models offer a unique and powerful approach to image analysis that combines geometry, physics, and approximation theory. They hav ..."

Energy Conserving Routing in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks
, 2000
"... An ad-hoc network of wireless static nodes is considered as it arises in a rapidly deployed, sensor based, monitoring system. Information is generated in certain nodes and needs to reach a set of designated gateway nodes. Each node may adjust its power within a certain range that determines the set ..."

the set of possible one hop away neighbors. Traffic forwarding through multiple hops is employed when the intended destination is not within immediate reach. The nodes have limited initial amounts of energy that is consumed in different rates depending on the power level and the intended receiver. We
An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
, 2002
"... This paper proposes S-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. A network of these devices will collaborate for a common application such as environmental monitoring. We expect senso ..."

An Experimental Comparison of Min-Cut/Max-Flow Algorithms for Energy Minimization in Vision
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 2001
"... After [10, 15, 12, 2, 4] minimum cut/maximum flow algorithms on graphs emerged as an increasingly useful tool for exact or approximate energy minimization in low-level vision. The combinatorial optimization literature provides many min-cut/max-flow algorithms with different polynomial time compl ..."

Constructing Free Energy Approximations and Generalized Belief Propagation Algorithms
- IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
, 2005
"... Important inference problems in statistical physics, computer vision, error-correcting coding theory, and artificial intelligence can all be reformulated as the computation of marginal probabilities on factor graphs. The belief propagation (BP) algorithm is an efficient way to solve these problems t ..."

Stochastic relaxation, Gibbs distributions and the Bayesian restoration of images.
- IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell.
, 1984
"... Abstract-We make an analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems. Pixel gray levels and the presence and orientation of edges are viewed as states of atoms or molecules in a lattice-like physical system. The assignment of an energy function in the physical system determines its Gibbs di ..."

Performance of optical flow techniques
- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION
, 1994
"... While different optical flow techniques continue to appear, there has been a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods. For a common set of real and synthetic image sequences, we report the results of a number of regularly cited optical flow techniques, including instances of differential, ..."

On active contour models and balloons
- CVGIP: Image
"... The use.of energy-minimizing curves, known as “snakes, ” to extract features of interest in images has been introduced by Kass, Witkhr & Terzopoulos (Znt. J. Comput. Vision 1, 1987,321-331). We present a model of deformation which solves some of the problems encountered with the original method. ..."
