Regularizing 3D medial axis using medial scaffold transforms
This paper addresses a key bottleneck in the use of the 3D medial axis (MA) representation, namely, how the complex MA structure can be regularized so that similar, within-categor...

Adaptive parametrization of multivariate B-splines for image registration
We present an adaptive parametrization scheme for dynamic mesh refinement in the application of parametric image registration. The scheme is based on a refinement measure ensuring...

A statistical deformation prior for non-rigid image and shape registration
Non-rigid registration is central to many problems in computer vision and medical image analysis. We propose a registration algorithm which is regularized by prior knowledge in th...

Margin-based discriminant dimensionality reduction for visual recognition
Nearest neighbour classifiers and related kernel methods often perform poorly in high dimensional problems because it is infeasible to include enough training samples to cover the...

Least squares surface reconstruction from measured gradient fields
This paper presents a new method for the reconstruction of a surface from its ? and ? gradient field, measured, for example, via Photometric Stereo. The new algorithm produces the...

Local grouping for optical flow
Optical flow estimation requires spatial integration, which essentially poses a grouping question: what points belong to the same motion and what do not. Classical local approache...

What do color changes reveal about an outdoor scene?
In an extended image sequence of an outdoor scene, one observes changes in color induced by variations in the spectral composition of daylight. This paper proposes a model for the...

Robust statistics on Riemannian manifolds via the geometric median
The geometric median is a classic robust estimator of centrality for data in Euclidean spaces. In this paper we formulate the geometric median of data on a Riemannian manifold as ...
