The signed distance field of a surface can effectively support many geometry processing tasks such as decimation, smoothing, and Boolean operations since it provides efficient a...
Most modern computer vision systems for high-level
tasks, such as image classification, object recognition and
segmentation, are based on learning algorithms that are
able to se...
Authority flow is an effective ranking mechanism for answering queries on a broad class of data. Systems have been developed to apply this principle on the Web (PageRank and topic ...
Shape is an important cue for generic object recognition but can be insufficient without other cues such as object appearance. We explore a number of ways in which the geometric a...
Fully automatic methods that extract lists of objects from the Web have been studied extensively. Record extraction, the first step of this object extraction process, identifies...
