Let Ng(f ) denote the number of rooted maps of genus g having f edges. An exact formula for Ng(f ) is known for g = 0 (Tutte, 1963), g = 1 (Arques, 1987), g = 2,3 (Bender and Canf...
We present a novel representation of shape for closed contours in R2 or for compact surfaces in R3 explicitly designed to possess a linear structure. This greatly simplifies linear...

Despite its usefulness in many applications, the medial axis transform (MAT) is very sensitive to the change of the boundary in the sense that, even if a shape is perturbed only s...
We analyze theoretically the subspace best approximating images of a convex Lambertian object taken from the same viewpoint, but under different distant illumination conditions. Si...
