Optimal Manifold Representation of Data: An Information Theoretic Approach
We introduce an information theoretic method for nonparametric, nonlinear dimensionality reduction, based on the infinite cluster limit of rate distortion theory. By constraining...

Markov Random Walk Representations with Continuous Distributions
We propose a framework to extend Markov random walks (Szummer and Jaakkola, 2001) to a continuum of points. In this framework, the transition probability between two points is the...

Modeling generalized cylinders using direction map representation
For generalized cylinders (GC) defined by contours of discrete curves, we propose two algorithms to generate GC surfaces (1) in polygonal meshes and (2) in cylindrical type of dev...

Automatic Detection of Anatomical Features on 3D Ear Impressions for Canonical Representation
Abstract. We propose a shape descriptor for 3D ear impressions, derived from a comprehensive set of anatomical features. Motivated by hearing aid (HA) manufacturing, the selection ...

Shape-Based Robot Mapping
We present a novel geometric model for robot mapping suited for robots equipped with a laser range finder. The geometric representation is based on shape. Cyclic ordered sets of p...
