MCMC curve sampling and geometric conditional simulation
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. Traditional curve evolution methods use gradient descent to find a local minimum...

Point-based non-rigid surface registration with accuracy estimation
This article presents a new method for non-rigid surface registration between a surface model and a surface of an internal organ in a given 3D medical image. The surface is repres...

Constructing basis functions from directed graphs for value function approximation
Basis functions derived from an undirected graph connecting nearby samples from a Markov decision process (MDP) have proven useful for approximating value functions. The success o...
