In the Paired Pointset Traversal problem we ask whether, given two sets A = {a1, . . . , an} and B = {b1, . . . , bn} in the plane, there is an ordering π of the points such that ...
This paper describes a shape signature that captures the intrinsic geometric structure of 3D objects. The primary motivation of the proposed approach is to encode a 3D shape into a...
This article presents vision functions needed on a mobile robot to deal with landmark-based navigation in buildings. Landmarks are planar, quadrangular surfaces, which must be dis...
Landing on distant planets is always a challenging task due to the distance and hostile environments found. In the design of autonomous hazard avoidance systems we find the particu...
A deformation invariant representation of surfaces, the GPS embedding, is introduced using the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami differential operator. Notabl...
