Approximating Minimum Bending Energy Path in a Simple Corridor
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a minimum bending energy path (or MinBEP) in a simple corridor. Given a simple 2D corridor C bounded by straight line ...

Kinetic bounding volume hierarchies for deformable objects
We present novel algorithms for updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations. Therefore, we introduce two new data structures, the kinetic AAB...

Numerical Determination of Optimal Non-Holonomic Paths in the Presence of Obstacles
This paper addresses the problem of numerically finding an optimal path for a robot with non-holonomic constraints. A car like robot, whose turning radius is lower bounded is cons...

On the ICP algorithm
We present upper and lower bounds for the number of iterations performed by the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. This algorithm has been proposed by Besl and McKay [4] as ...

Joint optimization of segmentation and appearance models
Many interactive image segmentation approaches use an objective function which includes appearance models as an unknown variable. Since the resulting optimization problem is NP-har...
