Trimming local and global self-intersections in offset curves/surfaces using distance maps
A robust and efficient algorithm for trimming both local and global self-intersections in offset curves and surfaces is presented. Our scheme is based on the derivation of a ratio...

A Probabilistic Approach to Object Recognition Using Local Photometry and Global Geometry
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
