In order to completely separate objects with large sections of occluded boundaries in an image, we devise a new variational level set model for image segmentation combining the Chan-Vese model with elastica and landmark constraints. For…

We consider a variational model for single-image super-resolution based on the assumption that the gradient of the target image is sparse. We enforce this assumption by considering both an isotropic and an anisotropic $\ell^0$…

We study the sublinear multivariate mean estimation problem in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Specifically, we aim to find the mean $\mu$ of a ground point set $A$, which minimizes the sum of squared Euclidean distances of the points in…

This paper focuses on minimizing a smooth function combined with a nonsmooth regularization term on a compact Riemannian submanifold embedded in the Euclidean space under a decentralized setting. Typically, there are two types of approaches…

In the Euclidean $k$-Means problem we are given a collection of $n$ points $D$ in an Euclidean space and a positive integer $k$. Our goal is to identify a collection of $k$ points in the same space (centers) so as to minimize the sum of the…

Existing deep embedding methods in vision tasks are capable of learning a compact Euclidean space from images, where Euclidean distances correspond to a similarity metric. To make learning more effective and efficient, hard sample mining is…

Euclidean distance matrices (EDM) are matrices of squared distances between points. The definition is deceivingly simple: thanks to their many useful properties they have found applications in psychometrics, crystallography, machine…

Euler's elastica model has been extensively studied and applied to image processing tasks. However, due to the high nonlinearity and nonconvexity of the involved curvature term, conventional algorithms suffer from slow convergence and high…
