The 2.1D sketch is a layered representation of occluding and occluded surfaces of the scene. Extracting the 2.1D sketch from a single image is a difficult and important problem ar...
The Signature Quadratic Form Distance is an adaptive similarity measure for flexible content-based feature representations of multimedia data. In this paper, we present a deep su...
In this paper we introduce some mathematical and numerical tools to analyze and interpret inhomogeneous quadratic forms. The resulting characterization is in some aspects similar ...
The maximization of a full-rank quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard in both a worst-case sense and an average sense. Interestingly, if the rank of the form is not a ...
For the generation of freeform 3D models, one of the most intuitive solution is to use sketch-based modeling environments. Unfortunately, since the user interface relies upon the a...
