Motivated by the ability of living cells to form into specific shapes and structures, we present a new approach to shape modeling based on self-organizing primitives whose behavi...
We present an approach to hierarchically encode the topology of functions over triangulated surfaces. We describe the topology of a function by its Morse-Smale complex, a well kno...
We describe a hierarchical probabilistic model for the detection and recognition of objects in cluttered, natural scenes. The model is based on a set of parts which describe the e...

In urban areas, buildings are often used as landmarks for localization. Reliable and efficient recognition of buildings is crucial for enabling this functionality. Motivated by t...
y trees are well-known abstract structures. This paper proposes a new shape-based image retrieval method based on concavity trees. The proposed method has two main components. The...
