Modeling and understanding complex non-manifold shapes is a key issue in shape analysis and retrieval. The topological structure of a non-manifold shape can be analyzed through its...
This paper describes a novel approach to the parameterization of triangle meshes representing 2-manifolds with an arbitrary genus. A topology-based decomposition of the shape is c...
Skeletons are often used as a framework for part-based shape description and matching. This paper describes some useful strategies that can be employed to improve the performance ...
This paper proposes a novel approach to recognize object categories in point clouds. By quantizing 3D SURF local descriptors, computed on partial 3D shapes extracted from the poin...
We propose a novel type of decomposition for polygonal shapes. It is thought that, for the task of object recognition, the human visual system uses a part-based representation. De...
