We propose a novel framework to build descriptors of local intensity that are invariant to general deformations. In this framework, an image is embedded as a 2D surface in 3D spac...
We show that for every n-point metric space M and positive integer k, there exists a spanning tree T with unweighted diameter O(k) and weight w(T) = O(k · n1/k ) · w(MST(M)), an...
This paper describes an algorithm for shape estimation in cluttered scenes. A new image potential is defined based on strokes detected in the image. The motivation is simple. Fea...
Many structured prediction tasks involve complex models where inference is computationally intractable, but where it can be well approximated using a linear programming relaxation...

The flow complex is a geometric structure, similar to the Delaunay tessellation, to organize a set of (weighted) points in Rk. Flow shapes are topological spaces corresponding to ...
