One of the most challenging tasks in microarray image analysis is spot segmentation. A solution to this problem is to provide an algorithm than can be used to find any spot within the microarray image. Circular Hough Transformation (CHT) is…
This paper describes the systematic application of local topological methods for detecting interfaces and related anomalies in complicated high-dimensional data. By examining the topology of small regions around each point, one can…
Patchworking is a construction of a one-parameter family of real algebraic hypersurfaces. For sufficiently small positive values of the parameter, the hypersurfaces can be obtained by gluing of given hypersurfaces topologically. The author…
Mixed integer set representations, and specifically hybrid zonotopes, have enabled new techniques for reachability and verification of nonlinear and hybrid systems. Mixed-integer sets which have the property that their convex relaxation is…
When a user scratches a hand-held rigid tool across an object surface, an acceleration signal can be captured, which carries relevant information about the surface. More importantly, such a haptic signal is complementary to the visual…
Single point supervised oriented object detection has gained attention and made initial progress within the community. Diverse from those approaches relying on one-shot samples or powerful pretrained models (e.g. SAM), PointOBB has shown…
Recent techniques have been successful in reconstructing surfaces as level sets of learned functions (such as signed distance fields) parameterized by deep neural networks. Many of these methods, however, learn only closed surfaces and are…
The amount of texture can be rich or deficient depending on the objects and the structures of the building. The conventional mono visual-initial navigation system (VINS)-based localization techniques perform well in environments where…
A (fully) dynamic graph algorithm is a data structure that supports edge insertions, edge deletions, and answers certain queries that are specific to the problem under consideration. There has been a lot of research on dynamic algorithms…
Denoising is omnipresent in image processing. It is usually addressed with algorithms relying on a set of hyperparameters that control the quality of the recovered image. Manual tuning of those parameters can be a daunting task, which calls…
Topological alignments and snakes are used in image processing, particularly in locating object boundaries. Both of them have their own advantages and limitations. To improve the overall image boundary detection system, we focused on…
In this paper, we introduce a shallow (one-hidden-layer) physics-informed neural network for solving partial differential equations on static and evolving surfaces. For the static surface case, with the aid of level set function, the…
Neural networks (NNs) are increasingly applied in safety-critical systems such as autonomous vehicles. However, they are fragile and are often ill-behaved. Consequently, their behaviors should undergo rigorous guarantees before deployment…
Existing learning-based atmospheric particle-removal approaches such as those used for rainy and hazy images are designed with strong assumptions regarding spatial frequency, trajectory, and translucency. However, the removal of snow…
Robotic manipulation of deformable objects remains a challenging task. One such task is to iron a piece of cloth autonomously. Given a roughly flattened cloth, the goal is to have an ironing plan that can iteratively apply a regular iron to…
We describe a construction of invariant train tracks with irreducible transition matrix for pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms. This fills what seems to be a gap in the literature concerning the existence of such train tracks. The construction…
One exact and two heuristic algorithms for determining the generators, orbits and order of the graph automorphism group are presented. A basic tool of these algorithms is the well-known individualization and refinement procedure. A search…
Finding the name of an unknown symbol is often hard, but writing the symbol is easy. This bachelor's thesis presents multiple systems that use the pen trajectory to classify handwritten symbols. Five preprocessing steps, one data…
Homography estimation is a basic computer vision task, which aims to obtain the transformation from multi-view images for image alignment. Unsupervised learning homography estimation trains a convolution neural network for feature…
We give a formula to estimate the number of fixed points of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface. When the homeomorphism satisfies a mild property called strong irreducibility, the log of the number of fixed points is coarsely equal…
