Shape matching has been a long-studied problem for the computer graphics and vision community. The objective is to predict a dense correspondence between meshes that have a certain degree of deformation. Existing methods either consider the…
We present a method for localizing a single camera with respect to a point cloud map in indoor and outdoor scenes. The problem is challenging because correspondences of local invariant features are inconsistent across the domains between…
The two-dimensional (2D) orientation field transform has been proved to be effective at enhancing 2D contours and curves in images by means of top-down processing. It, however, has no counterpart in three-dimensional (3D) images due to the…
A space curve in a Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb E^3$ is called a rectifying curve if its position vector field always lies in its rectifying plane. This notion of rectifying curves was introduced by the author in [Amer. Math. Monthly {\bf…
The microscopic mechanism by which amorphous solids yield plastically under an externally applied stress or deformation has remained elusive in spite of enormous research activity in recent years. Most approaches have attempted to identify…
Triangular meshes are the most popular representations of 3D objects, but many mesh surfaces contain topological singularities that represent a challenge for displaying or further processing them properly. One such singularity is the…
Understanding the dynamics of generic 3D scenes is fundamentally challenging in computer vision, essential in enhancing applications related to scene reconstruction, motion tracking, and avatar creation. In this work, we address the task as…
Vectors fields defined on surfaces constitute relevant and useful representations but are rarely used. One reason might be that comparing vector fields across two surfaces of the same genus is not trivial: it requires to transport the…
A unifying moving mesh method is developed for general $m$-dimensional geometric objects in $d$-dimensions ($d \ge 1$ and $1\le m \le d$) including curves, surfaces, and domains. The method is based on mesh equidistribution and alignment…
Tetrahedral frame fields have applications to certain classes of nematic liquid crystals and frustrated media. We consider the problem of constructing a tetrahedral frame field in three dimensional domains in which the boundary normal…
We prove a novel method for the embedding of a 3-fold rotationally symmetric sphere-type mesh onto a subset of the plane with 3-fold rotational symmetry. The embedding is free-boundary with the only additional constraint on the image set is…
Continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD) represents the evolution of systems of curved and connected dislocation lines in terms of density-like field variables which include the volume density of loops (or 'curvature density') as an additional…
The field of multiple view geometry has seen tremendous progress in reconstruction and calibration due to methods for extracting reliable point features and key developments in projective geometry. Point features, however, are not available…
The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen both with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission through mechanosensitive adhesions…
Curvature and helicity topological bounds for the magnetic energy of the streamlines magnetic structures of a kinematic dynamo flow are computed. The existence of the filament dynamos are determined by solving the magnetohydrodynamic…
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) sequences visualise the cardiac function voxel-wise over time. Simultaneously, deep learning-based deformable image registration is able to estimate discrete vector fields which warp one time step of a CMR…
Many machine learning problems involve regressing variables on a non-Euclidean manifold -- e.g. a discrete probability distribution, or the 6D pose of an object. One way to tackle these problems through gradient-based learning is to use a…
Having non-singular assembly modes changing trajectories for the 3-RPS parallel robot is a well-known feature. The only known solution for defining such trajectory is to encircle a cusp point in the joint space. In this paper, the aspects…
