We introduce an analysis method for graph transformation systems which checks that certain forbidden graphs are not reachable from the start graph. These forbidden graphs are speci...
This paper addresses a key bottleneck in the use of the 3D medial axis (MA) representation, namely, how the complex MA structure can be regularized so that similar, within-categor...
A framework for mapping a polar-like coordinate system to a non-rigid shape is presented. Using a graph pyramid, a binary shape is decomposed into connected parts, based on its st...
Biochemical pathways, such as metabolic, regulatory, and signal transduction pathways, constitute complex networks of functional and physical interactions between molecular species...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
