We present a novel 3D shape descriptor that uses a set of panoramic views of a 3D object
which describe the position and orientation of the object's surface in 3D space. We obtain a …

This contribution presents a brief survey of clipping and intersection algorithms in E 2 and E
3 with a nearly complete list of relevant references. Some algorithms use the projective …

This paper focuses on generating smooth trajectories for a wheeled nonholonomic mobile
robot using piecewise Bézier curves with properties ideally suited for this purpose. The …

The problem of human activity recognition (HAR) has been increasingly attracting the efforts
of the research community, having several applications. It consists of recognizing human …

Subdivision surfaces were introduced in the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) literature in the
late 1970s, and they have since attracted much attention in the fields of computer graphics …

Abstract The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a functional interpolation framework
founded upon the so-called constrained expression: a functional that expresses the family of …

This book addresses the new interaction modalities that are becoming possible with new
devices by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective. It deals with modern input …

A novel pose normalization method based on 3D object reflective symmetry is presented. It
is a general purpose global pose normalization method; in this paper it is used to enhance …

The in situ and real-time measurement of curvature changes of optically reflecting surfaces
is a key element to better control bottom-up fabrication processes in the semiconductor …

In this paper we present an approach for the recognition of human actions which is based on
a deep Convolutional Neural Network architecture. More specifically, 3D skeletal joint …
