Surface Tortuosity and its Application to Analyzing Cracks in Concrete
Previous studies of tortuosity were restricted to a curve in 2D or 3D. We propose several measures of surface tortuosity based on surface normals and principal curvatures, and app...

Paretian Similarity for Partial Comparison of Non-rigid Objects
In this paper, we address the problem of partial comparison of non-rigid objects. We introduce a new class of set-valued distances, related to the concept of Pareto optimality in e...

A new algorithm for three-finger force-closure grasp of polygonal objects
—We prove a new necessary and sufficient condition for 2D three-finger equilibrium grasps and implement a geometrical algorithm for computing force-closure grasps of polygonal ob...

Finding a curve in a map
Given a polygonal curve and a geometric graph, we describe an efficient algorithm to find a path in the graph which is most similar to the curve, using the well-known Fr´echet d...

An Anthropometric Face Model Using Variational Techniques
We describe a system that automatically generates varied geometric models of human faces. A collection of random measurements of the face is generated according to anthropometric ...
