A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
In this paper, we report on recent extensions to a surface matching algorithm based on local 3-D signatures. This algorithm was previously shown to be effective in view registrati...

Many applications, such as contour machining, rapid prototyping, and reverse engineering by laser scanner or coordinate measuring machine, involve sampling of free-from surfaces a...

We introduce one module in a cognitive system that learns the shape of objects by active exploration. More specifically, we propose a feature tracking scheme that makes use of the...

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...
