The demon algorithm is a Monte Carlo method for efficiently sampling members of a microcanonical ensemble with a given energy. An additional degree of freedom, called 'the …

The 'Demons Algorithm' is a deformable registration method in computer science that combines vector-field estimation with Gaussian regularization. It is iterative, solving flow equations and …

The understanding of the demons algorithm and its weaknesses opens many new research avenues for non-rigid registration. Probably the most important one is regularization: the first work will be to …

The Demons algorithm is a non-rigid image registration technique that models the alignment of a moving image to a fixed reference image as a diffusion process driven by localized forces, analogous …

Jan 1, 1992 · In this paper we make a further step and propose a generalized simulated annealing algorithm called Demon Algorithm. This algorithm is constructed in analogy to the action of …

For historical reasons, this degree of freedom is called a demon. Since the demon is only one degree of freedom and a gas typically has N ≫ 1, it can be thought of as a very small perturbation to the system.

Abstract- We introduce four new general optimization algorithms based on the ‘demon’ algorithm from statisti- cal physics and the simulated annealing (SA) optimization method. These algorithms …
