This paper addresses the problem of rotation estimation directly from images defined on the sphere and without correspondence. The method is particularly useful for the alignment ...
We consider the use of medial surfaces to represent symmetries of cts. This allows for a qualitative abstraction based on a directed acyclic graph of components and also a degree o...

A new method for three dimensional (3D) genus-zero shape classification is proposed. It conformally maps a 3D mesh onto a unit sphere and uses normal vectors to generate a spheric...
In many vision problems, rotation-invariant analysis is necessary or preferred. Popular solutions are mainly based on pose normalization or brute-force learning, neglecting the in...

Pose and illumination changes from picture to picture are two main barriers toward full automatic face recognition. In this paper, a novel method to handle both pose and lighting c...
