We introduce an algorithm for approximating a 2manifold 3D mesh by a set of developable surfaces. Each developable surface is a generalized cylinder represented as a strip of tria...
Geodesic paths and distances on meshes are used for many applications such as parameterization, remeshing, mesh segmentation, and simulations of natural phenomena. Noble works to c...
A major goal for face recognition is to identify faces where the pose of the probe is different from the stored face. Typical feature vectors vary more with pose than with identit...
We define a novel metric on the space of closed planar curves which decomposes into three intuitive components. According to this metric centroid translations, scale changes and ...

High dimensional data that lies on or near a low dimensional manifold can be described by a collection of local linear models. Such a description, however, does not provide a glob...
