Ricci flow is a powerful curvature flow method in geometric analysis. This work is the first application of surface Ricci flow in computer vision. We show that previous methods ba...

In an effort to articulate models for the intuitive representation and manipulation of 2D and 3D forms, Blum (1967, 1973) invented the notion of a skeleton. His insight was to con...

Abstract. Protein design software places amino acid side chains by precomputing rotamer-pair energies and optimizing rotamer placement. If the software optimizes by rapid stochasti...
Abstract Kernel-based object tracking refers to computing the translation of an isotropic object kernel from one video frame to the next. The kernel is commonly chosen as a primiti...
We describe how 3D affine measurements may be computed from a single perspective view of a scene given only minimal geometric information determined from the image. This minimal i...
