Corrected Laplacians: Closer Cuts and Segmentation with Shape Priors
We optimize over the set of corrected laplacians (CL) associated with a weighted graph to improve the average case normalized cut (NCut) of a graph. Unlike edge-relaxation SDPs, o...

Shape Topics: A Compact Representation and New Algorithms for 3D Partial Shape Retrieval
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...

Multiview normal field integration using level set methods
In this paper, we propose a new method to integrate multiview normal fields using level sets. In contrast with conventional normal integration algorithms used in shape from shadin...

No Grouping Left Behind: From Edges to Curve Fragments
We present a framework for extracting image contours based on geometric and structural consistency among edge element locations and orientations. The paper presents two contributi...

Toward Reconstructing Surfaces With Arbitrary Isotropic Reflectance : A Stratified Photometric Stereo Approach
We consider the problem of reconstructing the shape of a surface with an arbitrary, spatially varying isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and introdu...
