This paper describes a shape signature that captures the intrinsic geometric structure of 3D objects. The primary motivation of the proposed approach is to encode a 3D shape into a...
Shape deformations preserving the intrinsic properties of a surface are called isometries. An isometry deforms a surface without tearing or stretching it, and preserves geodesic d...
We address the problem of automatically learning object models for recognition and pose estimation. In contrast to the traditional approach, we formulate the recognition problem a...
A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
We describe a procedure to solve the basic problem of Variable Lighting Photometric Stereo – namely, recovering the normal directions and intrinsic albedos at all visible points...
