Curvature Regularization for Curves and Surfaces in a Global Optimization Framework
Length and area regularization are commonplace for inverse problems today. It has however turned out to be much more difficult to incorporate a curvature prior. In this paper we pr...

Illustrating Transparent Surfaces with Curvature-Directed Strokes
Transparency can be a useful device for simultaneously depicting multiple superimposed layers of information in a single image. However, in computer-generated pictures -as in phot...

Global Minimum for Active Contour Models: A Minimal Path Approach
A new boundary detection approach for shape modeling is presented. It detects the global minimum of an active contour model's energy between two end points. Initialization is ...

An Optimality Principle Governing Human Walking
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate different possible strategies underlying the formation of human locomotor trajectories in goal-directed walking. Seven subjects were asked t...

Design and Control of Concentric-Tube Robots
—A novel approach toward construction of robots is based on a concentric combination of precurved elastic tubes. By rotation and extension of the tubes with respect to each other...
