In an earlier paper we introduced rectangular diagrams of surfaces and showed that any isotopy class of a surface in the three-sphere can be presented by a rectangular diagram. Here we study transformations of those diagrams and introduce…
When determining the parameters of a parametric planar shape based on a single low-resolution image, common estimation paradigms lead to inaccurate parameter estimates. The reason behind poor estimation results is that standard estimation…
Photometric Stereo methods seek to reconstruct the 3d shape of an object from motionless images obtained with varying illumination. Most existing methods solve a restricted problem where the physical reflectance model, such as Lambertian…

Neural implicit representations have emerged as a powerful paradigm for 3D reconstruction. However, despite their success, existing methods fail to capture fine geometric details and thin structures, especially in scenarios where only…
We consider the problem of inverting the artifacts associated with scanning a page from an open book, i.e. "xeroxing." The process typically leads to a non-uniform combination of distortion, blurring and darkening owing to the fact that the…

Isophote curve consists of a locus of surface points whose normal vectors make a constant angle with a fixed vector (the axis). In this paper, we define an isophote curve on a spacelike surface in Lorentz-Minkowski space and then find its…
Man-made environments typically comprise planar structures that exhibit numerous geometric relationships, such as parallelism, coplanarity, and orthogonality. Making full use of these relationships can considerably improve the robustness of…
