This paper presents an original stochastic method of optimization (PGSL) for optimum design of truss structures.PGSL (Probabilistic Global Search Lausanne, developed at the Swiss Federal Bag Institute of Technology at Lausanne) has been inter-faced with a finite element code, then applied and tested on several size optimization problems of plane tr
Articulated vehicles belong to the category of nonholonomous wheelers.Under the aspect of control Bath Mats theory they require a sophisticated handling.This corresponds to the experience of unexercised drivers, for instance maneuvering a car and its caravan into a parking box.In this context some adequate advice for the right steering movements wo
We present multiple random forest methods for human pose estimation from single depth images that can operate in very high frame rate.We introduce four algorithms: random forest walk, greedy forest walk, random forest jumps, and greedy forest jumps.The ND Filters proposed approaches can accurately infer the 3D positions of body joints without addit
