Monte-Carlo methods for Computer Vision

Evaluating How the Islamic Republic of Iran Achieved its Vision Economic Goals by Designing and Computing a Composite Index and Using Monte Carlo Simulation Approach for Uncertainty Analysis

The Islamic Republic of Iran Vision aimed to direct development plans and yearly budgets. As one of the most important part, it includes 13 economic goals for directing economic route of the country for a twenty years period. After 15 years, evaluating how the country achieved to these goals is very important and unfortunately neglected. In this article, considering the different nature of goal...

Sequential Monte Carlo Methods in Computer Vision

Estimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...

Monte Carlo Methods

This tutorial describes numerical methods that are known as Monte Carlo methods. It starts with a basic description of the principles of Monte Carlo methods. It then discusses four individual Monte Carlo methods, describing each individual method and illustrating their use in calculating an integral. These four methods have been implemented in my example program 8.2, and the results from these ...

A Sample of Monte Carlo Methods in Robotics and Vision

Approximate inference by sampling from an appropriately constructed posterior has recently seen a dramatic increase in popularity in both the robotics and computer vision community. In this paper, I will describe a number of approaches in which my co-authors and I have used Sequential Monte Carlo methods and Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to solve a variety of difficult and challenging infer...

Characteristics of lead glass for radiation protection purposes: A Monte Carlo study

Background: Lead glass has a wide variety of applications in radiation protection. This study aims to investigate some characteristics of lead glass such as the γ-ray energy-dependent mass and linear attenuation coefficients, the half-value layer thickness, and the absorbed dose distribution for specific energy. Materials and Methods: The attenuation parameters of different lead glass types aga...
