Abstract-- We propose a new method for automatically accessing an internet database of 3D models that are searchable only by their user-annotated labels, for using them for vision ...
Background: Profile HMMs (hidden Markov models) provide effective methods for modeling the conserved regions of protein families. A limitation of the resulting domain models is th...
We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
We study the problem of estimating the epipolar geometry
from apparent contours of smooth curved surfaces
with affine camera models. Since apparent contours are
viewpoint depend...
We introduce the concept of a spatiogram, which is a generalization of a histogram that includes potentially higher order moments. A histogram is a zeroth-order spatiogram, while ...
