“Due to the resistance of metal wires in power grid network, voltage drop noise occurs in the form of IR drop which may change the output logic of underlying circuits and may affect the reliability ...

No algorithm for optimizing general nonlinear functions exists that will always find the global optimum for a general nonlinear minimization problem in a reasonable amount of time. Since no single ...

This paper presents a generalized technique of matching a deformable model to an image through energy minimization. An active contour model called snakes has been proposed which is a continuous and ...
