Topological Numbers and Singularities in Scalar Images: Scale-Space Evolution Properties
Singular points of scalar images in any dimensions are classified by a topological number. This number takes integer values and can efficiently be computed as a surface integral ...

An exact and efficient approach for computing a cell in an arrangement of quadrics
We present an approach for the exact and efficient computation of a cell in an arrangement of quadric surfaces. All calculations are based on exact rational algebraic methods and ...

Topology and arrangement computation of semi-algebraic planar curves
We describe a new subdivision method to efficiently compute the topology and the arrangement of implicit planar curves. We emphasize that the output topology and arrangement are g...

Fingerprint Classification Based on Extraction and Analysis of Singularities and Pseudoridges
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to fingerprint classification based on both singularities and traced pseudoridge analysis. Since noise exists in most of the fingerprint...

Computing Polygonal Surfaces from Unions of Balls
We present a new algorithm for computing a polygonal surface from a union of balls. The method computes and connects the singular points of a given union of balls in an efficient ...

Singular Points Analysis in Fingerprints Based on Topological Structure and Orientation Field
Abstract. As an important feature of fingerprints, singular points (includingcores and deltas) not only represent the local ridge pattern characteristics, but also determine the to...

Singular point detection in fingerprints using quadrant change information
Automatic localization of singular points in fingerprints is of critical importance in many algorithms. Existing methods of detecting singular points often require tedious ad-hoc ...

Curvature and Singularity Driven Diffusion for Oriented Pattern Enhancement with Singular Points
Oriented patterns, e.g. fingerprints, consist of smoothly varying flow-like patterns, together with important singular points (i.e. cores and deltas) where the orientation change...
