- Many of NASA's planned missions for the coming decade will require a pinpoint landing (PPL) capability, whether for sample acquisition and return or for precise insertion in...
Shape deformations preserving the intrinsic properties of a surface are called isometries. An isometry deforms a surface without tearing or stretching it, and preserves geodesic d...
A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
Manifold reconstruction has been extensively studied for the last decade or so, especially in two and three dimensions. Recent advances in higher dimensions have led to new method...
Ridges are characteristic curves of a surface that mark salient intrinsic features of its shape and are therefore valuable for shape matching, surface quality control, visualizati...
