—Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not r...
Abstract-- This paper introduces orthogonal vector field visualization on 2D manifolds: a representation by lines that are perpendicular to the input vector field. Line patterns ar...
We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
Multiresolution shape representation is a very effective way to decompose surface geometry into several levels of detail. Geometric modeling with such representations enables flex...
This paper describes a method of human short hair modeling and real time animation. A method is proposed to model the short hair. First, a hair style model is derived from a scalp...
