Shadow links and face models of statistical mechanics

Statistical mechanics of interfering links.

We consider the statistical mechanics of interfering transmissions in a wireless communications protocol. In this case, a connection between two nodes requires all other nodes within communication distance of the given two nodes to remain quiet on the given channel. This leads to an interesting problem of dimers on a lattice, with a restriction that no two dimers can overlap or be nearest neigh...

Two Random Interfaces of Statistical Mechanics Models

We consider the limiting statistical properties of fluctuations of statistical mechanics models. The two random interfaces of one-dimensional statistical physics models is modeled and investigated in the present paper. The two random interfaces are constructed by assuming that there is a specified value of the large area in the intermediate region of the two random interfaces, and the two rando...

Statistical variation of Three Dimensional face models

Statistical models of face images - improving specificity

Model based approaches to the interpretation of face images have proved very successful. We have previously described statistically based models of face shape and grey-level appearance and shown how they can be used to perform various coding and interpretation tasks. In the paper we describe improved methods of modelling which couple shape and greylevel information more directly than our existi...
