In this paper, a function-based extension of Extensible 3D (X3D) is proposed. The extension allows authors to use analytical functions to define geometry, color, 3D texture as wel...
Among the visual features of multimedia content, shape is of particular interest because humans can often recognize objects solely on the basis of shape. Over the past three decad...
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
We consider the problem of visual categorization with minimal supervision during training. We propose a partbased model that loosely captures structural information. We represent ...
A good model of object shape is essential in applications such as segmentation, object detection, inpainting and graphics. For example, when performing segmentation, local constra...
