Data Structures and Algorithms for Nearest Neighbor Search in General Metric Spaces
We consider the computational problem of finding nearest neighbors in general metric spaces. Of particular interest are spaces that may not be conveniently embedded or approximate...

Identifying flat and tubular regions of a shape by unstable manifolds
We present an algorithm to identify the flat and tubular regions of a three dimensional shape from its point sample. We consider the distance function to the input point cloud an...

On the importance of idempotence
Range searching is among the most fundamental problems in computational geometry. An n-element point set in Rd is given along with an assignment of weights to these points from so...

Local distance functions: A taxonomy, new algorithms, and an evaluation
We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...
