In this paper we propose a set of algorithms that combine the anisotropic smoothing using the heat kernel with the outlier rejection capability of robust statistics. The proposed ...
All surfaces can be classified by the conformal equivalence
relation. Conformal invariants, which are shape indices
that can be defined intrinsically on a surface, may
be used t...

Abstract This paper presents a novel algorithm aiming at analysis and identification of faces viewed from different poses and illumination conditions. Face analysis from a single i...
We consider the problem of reconstructing the shape of a surface with an arbitrary, spatially varying isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and introdu...
The present paper focuses on efficient inverse rendering using a Photometric Stereo technique for realistic surfaces. The technique primarily assumes the Lambertian reflection mod...
