Numerous applications processing 3D point data will gain from the ability to estimate reliably normals and differential geometric properties. Normal estimates are notoriously nois...
—Image category recognition is important to access visual information on the level of objects and scene types. So far, intensity-based descriptors have been widely used for featu...
