Abstract. Inspired by the early visual system of many mammalians we consider the construction of-and reconstruction from- an orientation score Uf : R2 ×S1 → C as a local orienta...
—Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) has been widely used in image/video coding systems, where zigzag scan is usually employed for DCT coefficient organization. However, due to local...
Most methods for the recognition of shape classes from 3D datasets focus on classifying clean, often manually generated models. However, 3D shapes obtained through acquisition tech...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
Integrated access to multiple distributed and autonomous RDF data sources is a key challenge for many semantic web applications. As a reaction to this challenge, SPARQL, the W3C Re...
