Dynamic reliability estimation in a rank-based design

Rank-Based Illumination Estimation

A new two-stage illumination estimation method based on the concept of rank is presented. The method first estimates the illuminant locally in subwindows using a ranking of digital counts in each color channel and then combines local subwindow estimates again based on a ranking of the local estimates. The proposed method unifies the MaxRGB and Grayworld methods. Despite its simplicity, the perf...

Spatial Design for Knot Selection in Knot-Based Low-Rank Models

‎Analysis of large geostatistical data sets‎, ‎usually‎, ‎entail the expensive matrix computations‎. ‎This problem creates challenges in implementing statistical inferences of traditional Bayesian models‎. ‎In addition,researchers often face with multiple spatial data sets with complex spatial dependence structures that their analysis is difficult‎. ‎This is a problem for MCMC sampling algorith...

Reliability - based Structural Design

Reliability based structural design

According to ISO 2394, structures shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a way that they are suited for their use during the design working life in an economic way. To fulfil this requirement one needs insight into the risk and reliability under expected and non-expected actions. A key role in this respect is played by the structural reliability analysis (SRA). In this paper the ...
