Thinning is the removal of contour pixels/points of connected components in an image to produce their skeleton with retained connectivity and structural properties. The output requirements of a thinning procedure often vary with…

This paper studies the problem of reconstructing binary matrices that are only accessible through few evaluations of their discrete X-rays. Such question is prominently motivated by the demand in material science for developing a tool for…

Local Binary Descriptors are becoming more and more popular for image matching tasks, especially when going mobile. While they are extensively studied in this context, their ability to carry enough information in order to infer the original…

3D object detection and pose estimation from a single image are two inherently ambiguous problems. Oftentimes, objects appear similar from different viewpoints due to shape symmetries, occlusion and repetitive textures. This ambiguity in…

We apply the theory of Lie symmetries in order to study a fourth-order $1+2$ evolutionary partial differential equation which has been proposed for the image processing noise reduction. In particular we determine the Lie point symmetries…

In this paper we present a differential approach to photo-polarimetric shape estimation. We propose several alternative differential constraints based on polarisation and photometric shading information and show how to express them in a…

A binary matrix can be scanned by moving a fixed rectangular window (submatrix) across it, rather like examining it closely under a microscope. With each viewing, a convenient measurement is the number of 1s visible in the window, which…

We introduce two notions of discrepancy between binary vectors, which are not metric functions in general but nonetheless capture the mathematical structure of the binary asymmetric channel. In turn, these lead to two new fundamental…

While several classes of integer linear optimization problems are known to be solvable in polynomial time, far fewer tractability results exist for integer nonlinear optimization. In this work, we narrow this gap by identifying a broad…

Reliable image correspondences form the foundation of vision-based spatial perception, enabling recovery of 3D structure and camera poses. However, unconstrained feature matching across domains such as aerial, indoor, and outdoor scenes…

We investigate connections between the geometry of linear subspaces and the convergence of the alternating projection method for linear projections. The aim of this article is twofold: in the first part, we show that even in Euclidean…

The task of unsupervised image-to-image translation has seen substantial advancements in recent years through the use of deep neural networks. Typically, the proposed solutions learn the characterizing distribution of two large, unpaired…

Correspondences estimation or feature matching is a key step in the image-based 3D reconstruction problem. In this paper, we propose two algebraic properties for correspondences. The first is a rank deficient matrix construct from the…

The problem of structure from motion is concerned with recovering 3-dimensional structure of an object from a set of 2-dimensional images. Generally, all information can be uniquely recovered if enough images and image points are provided,…

Recent advances in differentiable rendering, which allow calculating the gradients of 2D pixel values with respect to 3D object models, can be applied to estimation of the model parameters by gradient-based optimization with only 2D…

The joint design of the optical system and the downstream algorithm is a challenging and promising task. Due to the demand for balancing the global optimal of imaging systems and the computational cost of physical simulation, existing…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, where each element of $P$ is assigned a weight $\omega(p)$, positive or negative. In this paper, we present an algorithm that runs in $O(n^4\log n)$ time and $O(n)$ space to find two possibly…

We study the well-known methods of alternating and simultaneous projections when applied to two nonorthogonal linear subspaces of a real Euclidean space. Assuming that both of the methods have a common starting point chosen from either one…

We compare ordinary and symmetric variants of two classical measures of pseudorandomness for binary sequences, the $2$-adic complexity and the linear complexity. In the periodic setting, we show that for binary periodic sequences…

We study the problem of similarity learning and its application to image retrieval with large-scale data. The similarity between pairs of images can be measured by the distances between their high dimensional representations, and the…
