People often recognize 3D objects by their boundary shape. Designing an algorithm for such a task is interesting and useful for retrieving objects from a shape database. In this pa...
Overcomplete transforms, like the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform, offer more flexible signal representations than criticallysampled transforms. Large numbers of transform coe...
Different types of visual object categories can be found in real-world applications. Some categories are very heterogeneous in terms of local features (broad categories) while oth...
The Symmetry Set (??) and its subset the Medial Axis (? ), can be used to describe a shape. The representation of the ?? in parameter space is called the pre-Symmetry Set. Changes...
New product development involves people with different backgrounds. Designers, engineers, and consumers all have different design criteria, and these criteria interact. Early conce...
