Abstract We propose a novel and efficient surface matching approach for reassembling broken solids as well as for matching assembly components using cluster trees of oriented point...
We consider derivative free methods based on sampling approaches for nonlinear optimization problems where derivatives of the objective function are not available and cannot be dir...
Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notio...
Face recognition and many medical imaging applications require the computation of dense correspondence vector fields that match one surface with another. In brain imaging, surfac...
—This paper develops a framework for locally deforming either a parametric surface or hierarchical subdivision surface to match a set of positional and energy minimizing constrai...
