Contour lines from topographic maps are still the most common form of elevation data for the Earth’s surface and in the case of historical landscapes, they often are the only av...
We propose a novel framework to build descriptors of local intensity that are invariant to general deformations. In this framework, an image is embedded as a 2D surface in 3D spac...
Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
Sparse Low-degree IMplicit (SLIM) surface [11] is a recently developed non-conforming surface representation. In this paper, a method for free-form deformation of SLIM surfaces is...
Abstract--Medical image segmentation has become an essential technique in clinical and research-oriented applications. Because manual segmentation methods are tedious, and fully au...
