Automatic face detection and localization is a key problem in many computer vision tasks. In this paper, a simple yet effective approach for detecting and locating human faces in color images is proposed. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, a particular reference to face detection techniques along with a background to neural networks is given. Second, and maybe ... Read more

A generalized discrete neutral-type neural network with time-varying delays is studied. The existence results of periodic solution for the above neural networks are obtained by using Mawhin׳s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, and sufficient conditions are given to guarantee global exponential stability of periodic solution. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the results in ... Read more

In this paper, the exponential stability problem is investigated for a class of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with Markovian jumping parameter and mixed time-delays. The mixed time-delays under consideration consist of both the mode-dependent discrete time-delays and the mode-dependent distributed time-delays. By constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and employing the stochastic analysis techniques, sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee that the ... Read more

Graph drawing addresses the problem of finding a layout of a graph that satisfies given aesthetic and understandability objectives. The most important objective in graph drawing is minimization of the number of crossings in the drawing, as the aesthetics and readability of graph drawings depend on the number of edge crossings. VLSI layouts with fewer crossings are more easily realizable ... Read more
