We introduce an information theoretic method for nonparametric, nonlinear dimensionality reduction, based on the infinite cluster limit of rate distortion theory. By constraining...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
