The ODMG proposal has helped to focus the work on object-oriented databases (OODBs) onto a common object model and query language. Nevertheless there are several shortcomings of t...
We present an unsupervised algorithm for aligning a pair of shapes in the presence of significant articulated motion and missing data, while assuming no knowledge of a template, u...
This work is inspired by a paper of Hertel and Pott on maximum non-linear functions [8]. Geometrically, these functions correspond with quasi-quadrics; objects introduced in [5]. ...
The medial axis transform is valuable for shape representation as it is complete and captures part structure. However, its exact computation for arbitrary 3D models is not feasibl...
Emerging multi-hop wireless mesh networks have much different characteristics than the Internet. They have low dimensionality and large diameters. Content and service replication ...
