A New Approach to 3D Sulcal Ribbon Finding from MR Images
Abstract. Sulcal medial surfaces are 3D thin convoluted ribbons embedded in cortical sulci, and they provide distinctive anatomical features of the brain. Here we propose a new app...

Geometric Spanners for Weighted Point Sets
Let (S, d) be a finite metric space, where each element p ∈ S has a non-negative weight w(p). We study spanners for the set S with respect to weighted distance function dw, wher...

On The Marriage of Lp-norms and Edit Distance
Existing studies on time series are based on two categories of distance functions. The first category consists of the Lp-norms. They are metric distance functions but cannot supp...
