To use photographs in visual simulation such as synthesizing new images by overlapping an object in an image onto the other, physically significant regions corresponding to object...
— We show that the Fisher-Rao Riemannian metric is a natural, intrinsic tool for computing shape geodesics. When a parameterized probability density function is used to represent...
The issue of ®nding similar 3-D surface segments arises in many recent applications of spatial database systems, such as molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD, and geographic i...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating the shape and radiance of a scene from a calibrated set of images under the assumption that the scene is Lambertian and its radiance...
