Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for estimating the geometric distance from a given point to the corresponding implicit quadric curve/surface. The proposed estimation...
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
Abstract. We propose two differential geometric representations of planar shapes using: (i) direction functions and (ii) curvature functions, of their boundaries. Under either rep...

Abstract. In this work we study the problem of reconstructing an image from a perceptual segmentation based on a geometric classification of its points using non-linear curvature f...
Abstract. Finding paths in high-dimensional gemetric spaces is a provably hard problem. Recently, a general randomized planning scheme has emerged as an e ective approach to solve ...
