In this paper, we investigate to which extent the "raw" mapping of Taylor series coefficients into jet-space can be used as a "language" for describing local i...
This paper gives an overview over several techniques for detection of features, and in particular sharp features, on point-sampled geometry. In addition, a new technique using the...
Due to the increasing amount of 3D data for various applications there is a growing need for classification and search in such databases. As the representation of 3D objects is no...
In this paper we consider the detection of small surface features, such as ridges and bumps, on the surface of an object during dextrous manipulation. First we review the represen...
The problem of automatic feature selection/weighting in kernel methods is examined. We work on a formulation that optimizes both the weights of features and the parameters of the ...
