The explosive increase of image data on Internet has made it an important, yet very challenging task to index and automatically annotate image data. To achieve that end, sophistic...
All surfaces can be classified by the conformal equivalence
relation. Conformal invariants, which are shape indices
that can be defined intrinsically on a surface, may
be used t...

The ray shooting problem arises in many different contexts and is a bottleneck of ray tracing in computer graphics. Unfortunately, theoretical solutions to the problem are not ver...
Abstract--Scatterplots are well established means of visualizing discrete data values with two data variables as a collection of discrete points. We aim at generalizing the concept...
Inference of latent variables from complicated data is one important problem in data mining. The high dimensionality and high complexity of real world data often make accurate infe...
