The use of genetic search algorithms (GA) as spectral band selectors is popular in the field
of remote sensing. Nevertheless, class information that has been used in the existing …

Image registration (IR) aims to find a transformation between two or more images acquired
under different conditions. This problem has been established as a very active research field …

In the last few decades, image registration (IR) has been established as a very active
research area in computer vision. Over the years, IR's applications cover a broad range of …

Metaheuristics are techniques that use approximate and intuitive strategies to quickly find
near-optimal solutions of complex optimization problems. A number of outstanding …

Summary form only given. This article gives a brief overview of theoretical advances,

Parallel implementations of metaheuristics appear quite naturally as an effective alternative
to speed up the search for approximate solutions of combinatorial optimization problems …

Multi-temporal analysis is one of the main applications of remote sensing, and Landsat
imagery has been one of the main resources for many years. However, the moderate spatial …

Objective We present a novel intensity-based algorithm for medical image registration (IR).
Methods and materials The IR problem is formulated as a continuous optimization task, and …

One major attraction of the World-Wide Web is the ease with which a relatively untrained
user can create or modify a Web hypertext document. However, this same flexibility often …

Image registration is a hot topic in the field of image processing, and it can be simplified as
an optimization problem. The particle swam optimization (PSO) technique is an effective …
