Many visual cues for surface reconstruction from known views are sparse in nature, e.g. specularities, surface silhouettes and salient features in an otherwise textureless region....
Rate shaping plays an important role in transmitting compressed video on a network with dynamic bandwidth. In this paper, we present a scheme for rate shaping JPEG/MPEG-precompres...
Abstract. We present a geometric and statistical approach to gaitbased human recognition. The novelty here is to consider observations of gait, considered as planar silhouettes, to...
The concept of the Logarithm of the Odds (LogOdds) is frequently used in areas such as artificial neural networks, economics, and biology. Here, we utilize LogOdds for a shape repr...

Abstract. The expressiveness of a lot of image analysis algorithms depends on the question whether shape information is preserved during digitization. Most existing approaches to a...
