Most cost function based clustering or partitioning methods measure the compactness of groups of data. In contrast to this picture of a point source in feature space, some data sou...
We present a new sampling method for procedural and complex geometries, which allows interactive point-based modeling and rendering of such scenes. For a variety of scenes, object-...
The chapter describes visual classification by a hierarchy of semantic fragments. In fragment-based classification, objects within a class are represented by common sub-structures ...
In this paper, we present a novel method for the voxel-wise extraction of rotation and gray-scale invariant features. These features are used for simultaneous segmentation and clas...
In this paper we describe a new shape-from-shading method. We show how the parallel transport of surface normals can be used to impose curvature consistency and also to iterativel...
