We consider regions of images that exhibit smooth statistics, and pose the question of characterizing
the “essence” of these regions that matters for visual recognition. Ideal...

In this paper, we address the problem of segmenting data defined on a manifold into a set of regions with uniform properties. In particular, we propose a numerical method when the ...
Correspondence problems are of great importance in
computer vision. They appear as subtasks in many applications
such as object recognition, merging partial 3D reconstructions
a...
Single 2D line drawing is a straightforward method to illustrate 3D objects. The faces of an object depicted by a line drawing give very useful information for the reconstruction ...
This paper presents a novel 3D deformable surface that we call an active polyhedron. Rooted in surface evolution theory, an active polyhedron is a polyhedral surface whose vertice...
