We present a novel approach to measuring similarity between shapes and exploit it for
object recognition. In our framework, the measurement of similarity is preceded by:(1) …

Measuring the similarity between 3D shapes is a fundamental problem, with applications in
computer graphics, computer vision, molecular biology, and a variety of other fields. A …

Feature-based methods for non-rigid registration frequently encounter the correspondence
problem. Regardless of whether points, lines, curves or surface parameterizations are used …

Object recognition systems constitute a deeply entrenched and omnipresent component of
modern intelligent systems. Research on object recognition algorithms has led to advances …

Fingerprint verification is an important biometric technique for personal identification. We
describe the design and implementation of a prototype automatic identity-authentication …

Statistical models of shape and appearance are powerful tools for interpreting medical
images. We assume a training set of images in which corresponding landmark points have …

We present an unsupervised technique for visual learning, which is based on density
estimation in high-dimensional spaces using an eigenspace decomposition. Two types of …

As the number of 3D models available on the Web grows, there is an increasing need for a
search engine to help people find them. Unfortunately, traditional text-based search …
