Efficient direct solutions for the determination of a cylinder from points are presented. The solutions range from the well known direct solution of a quadric to the minimal soluti...
If V is a set of n points in the unit square [0, 1]2 , and if R : V + is an assignment of positive real numbers (radii) to to those points, define a graph G(R) as follows: {v, w}...
We explore the possibility of recognizing the surface material from a single image with unknown illumination, given the shape of the surface. Model-based PCA is used to create a lo...
The dimensionality reduction problem has been widely studied in the database literature because of its application for concise data representation in a variety of database applica...
This paper introduces a geometrically inspired large-margin classifier that can be a better alternative to the Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for the classification problems with ...
