We present an algorithm that extracts the largest shape within a specificclass, starting from a set of image edgels. The algorithm inherits the Best-First Segmentation approach [jp...
This paper describes a new method to recover the sign of the local Gaussian curvature at each point on the visible surface of a 3-D object. Multiple (p > 3) shaded images are a...
