In this paper we present an adaptive method for graphic symbol representation based on shape contexts. The proposed descriptor is invariant under classical geometric transforms (r...
The spherical harmonic (SPHARM) description is a powerful surface modeling technique that can model arbitrarily shaped but simply connected three dimensional (3D) objects. Because...
