Given a disk O in the plane called the objective, we want to find n small disks P1, . . . , Pn called the pupils such that n i,j=1 Pi Pj ⊇ O, where denotes the Minkowski diffe...
We propose an SQP-type algorithm for solving nonlinear second-order cone programming (NSOCP) problems. At every iteration, the algorithm solves a convex SOCP subproblem in which th...
In a comprehensive study of methods for dealing with the problem of the initial transient, Hoad et al. (2008) determined that the MSER (White, 1997) was an efficient and effective...
The differential geometry of smooth three-dimensional surfaces can be interpreted from one of two perspectives: in terms of oriented frames located on the surface, or in terms of ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing a shape from unorganized cross-sections. The main motivation for this problem comes from medical imaging applications wher...
