A number of techniques have been developed for reconstructing surfaces by integrating groups of aligned range images. A desirable set of properties for such algorithms includes: i...
Abstract. Sulcal medial surfaces are 3D thin convoluted ribbons embedded in cortical sulci, and they provide distinctive anatomical features of the brain. Here we propose a new app...

Let (S, d) be a finite metric space, where each element p ∈ S has a non-negative weight w(p). We study spanners for the set S with respect to weighted distance function dw, wher...

Existing studies on time series are based on two categories of distance functions. The first category consists of the Lp-norms. They are metric distance functions but cannot supp...
Assessing the similarity between objects is a prerequisite for many data mining techniques. This paper introduces a novel approach to learn distance functions that maximizes the c...

Tasks of information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be formulated in a con...
We introduce a technique to visualize the gradual evolutionary change of the shapes of living things as a morph between known three-dimensional shapes. Given geometric computer mo...

— With the invention of high throughput methods, researchers are capable of producing large amounts of biological data. During the analysis of such data, the need for a functiona...
We present an interactive algorithm to compute discretized 3D Euclidean distance fields. Given a set of piecewise linear geometric primitives, our algorithm computes the distance...
