The study of physical models for knots has recently received much interest in the mathematics community. In this paper, we consider the ropelength model, which considers knots tie...
We present a new surface representation scheme based on a manifold structure and displacement functions. Given a geometric model represented as a point cloud, we construct a domain...
Deformable geometric models fit very naturally into the context of Bayesian analysis. The prior probability of boundary shapes is taken to proportional to the negative exponential...

Registering images of a deforming surface is a well-studied problem. It is common practice to describe the image deformation fields with Thin-Plate Splines. This has the advantage...

Abstract--This work provides a model for tubular structures, and devises an algorithm to automatically extract tubular anatomical structures from medical imagery. Our model fits ma...
