Ricci flow is a powerful curvature flow method in geometric analysis. This work is the first application of surface Ricci flow in computer vision. We show that previous methods ba...

Recognition of 3D objects from different viewpoints is a difficult problem. In this paper, we propose a new method to recognize 3D range images by matching local surface descripto...
We propose a vector representation (called a 3D signature) for 3D face shape in biometrics applications. Elements of the vector correspond to fixed surface points in a face-centere...
Skeleton is a lower dimensional shape description of an object. The requirements of a skeleton differ with applications. For example, object recognition requires skeletons with pr...
