We address the problem of multitarget region tracking within image sequences. Following recent work on joint segmentation and tracking as well as non-parametric modeling of color statistics, we develop an energy-minimization based approach using color histograms. As in a few other existing approaches, a single color probability distribution per object and background is handled. In this context,...

In this paper we show a lower bound for the generalization of Heilbronn’s triangle problem to d dimensions; namely, we show that there exists a set S of n points in the d-dimensional unit cube so that every d + 1 points of S define a simplex of volume Ω( 1 nd ). We also show a constructive incremental positioning of n points in a unit 3-cube for which every tetrahedron defined by four of these ...

Analysing a unique, domain-similar database including all horticulturalists in a major flower-producing country, this paper shows that a firm’s central position in a network significantly improves its financial performance. The effect of strategic positioning in a network is in large part mediated through its enhanced innovativeness. Strategically positioning in a network of firms contributes m...

We propose a general framework for the analysis of animal telemetry data through the use of weighted distributions. It is shown that several interpretations of resource selection functions arise when constructed from the ratio of a use and availability distribution. Through the proposed general framework, several popular resource selection models are shown to be special cases of the general mod...
