Abstract. In this work, we present two active shape models for the segmentation of tubular objects. The first model is built using cylindrical parameterization and minimum descrip...
— In this paper a dynamic contact model is presented based on the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory. The classical JKR model captures the contact properties for the quasi-stat...
We consider a generalized copy model of the web graph and related networks, and analyze its limiting behaviour. The model is motivated by previously proposed copying models of the ...
This paper presents an approach for extending the vector space model (VSM) to perform XML retrieval. The model is extended to support important aspects of XML structural and semant...

This paper discusses the use of spatial graph models for the analysis of networks that do not have a direct spatial reality, such as web graphs, on-line social networks, or citatio...
