In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

We present a manifold learning approach to dimensionality
reduction that explicitly models the manifold as a mapping
from low to high dimensional space. The manifold is
represen...
There has recently been significant interest in using repions based on abstractions of Blum's skeleton into a graph, for qualitative shape matching. The application of these ...
An imaging system with a single effective viewpoint is called a central projection system. The conventional perspective camera is an example of a central projection system. System...
12 In this paper we study the problem of shape analysis and its application in locating facial feature points on frontal faces. We propose a Bayesian inference solution based on ta...
