We intend to show in this paper that metaheuristics based on GRASP and VNS can give good results for a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) called Traveling Purchaser Problem (TPP) when compared with the Tabu Search algorithm proposed by Voss [13] for this algorithm, concerning the quality of solutions in similar execution times. In these algorithms, several simple and well kn...

We present an efficient mesh watermarking scheme whereby a vendor can embed purchaser-specific information (i.e. a user license) into a mesh upon the sale of the mesh. This watermark is robust to translation, rotation, uniform scaling, cropping and random perturbation of vertices (up to a threshold). Furthermore, since this method imposes only minor changes to the geometry of the model, it can ...
