Many algorithms for shape analysis and shape processing rely on accurate estimates of differential information such as normals and curvature. In most settings, however, care must...
This paper presents a robust warping method for minutiae based fingerprint matching approaches. In this method, a deformable fingerprint surface is described using a triangular me...
Besides the problem of searching for effective methods for extracting knowledge from large databases (KDD) there are some additional problems with handling ecological data, namely ...
We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
Given a dense set of imperfect normals obtained by photometric stereo or shape from shading, this paper presents an optimization algorithm which alternately optimizes until conver...
