We propose Concavity-induced Distance (CID) as a novel way to measure the dissimilarity between a pair of points in an unoriented point cloud. CID indicates the likelihood of two points or two sets of points belonging to different convex…

Point clouds captured by scanning devices are often incomplete due to occlusion. To overcome this limitation, point cloud completion methods have been developed to predict the complete shape of an object based on its partial input. These…

In regression analysis, we employ contour projection (CP) to develop a new dimension reduction theory. Accordingly, we introduce the notions of the central contour subspace and generalized contour subspace. We show that both of their…

Conformal Prediction (CP) is a distribution-free method for constructing prediction sets with marginal finite-sample coverage guarantees, making it a suitable framework for reliable uncertainty quantification in safety-critical object…

Estimating accurate 3D locations of objects from monocular images is a challenging problem because of lacking depth. Previous work shows that utilizing the object's keypoint projection constraints to estimate multiple depth candidates…

Most dimensionality reduction methods employ frequency domain representations obtained from matrix diagonalization and may not be efficient for large datasets with relatively high intrinsic dimensions. To address this challenge, Correlated…

Convex programming plays a fundamental role in machine learning, data science, and engineering. Testing convexity structure in nonlinear programs relies on verifying the convexity of objectives and constraints. Grant et al. (2006)…

Nonrigid point set registration is widely applied in the tasks of computer vision and pattern recognition. Coherent point drift (CPD) is a classical method for nonrigid point set registration. However, to solve spatial transformation…

Coherent Point Drift (CPD) is a representative probabilistic framework for unsupervised non-rigid point set registration. Its standard non-rigid M-step, however, relies on a point-indexed Gaussian-kernel system whose size grows with the…

Cross-category anomaly detection for 3D point clouds aims to determine whether an unseen object belongs to a target category using only a few normal examples. Most existing methods rely on category-specific training, which limits their…

This paper proposes an extension of Random Projection Depth (RPD) to cope with multiple modalities and non-convexity on data clouds. In the framework of the proposed method, the RPD is computed in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. With…

Conformal Prediction (CP) is a principled framework for quantifying uncertainty in blackbox learning models, by constructing prediction sets with finite-sample coverage guarantees. Traditional approaches rely on scalar nonconformity scores,…

Convexity is a fundamental geometric prior that underlies many natural and man-made structures, yet remains challenging to impose effectively in end-to-end trainable segmentation networks. We revisit convexity from a functional perspective…

Projections (or dimensionality reduction) methods $P$ aim to map high-dimensional data to typically 2D scatterplots for visual exploration. Inverse projection methods $P^{-1}$ aim to map this 2D space to the data space to support tasks such…

Knowledge of 3D properties of objects is a necessity in order to build effective computer vision systems. However, lack of large scale 3D datasets can be a major constraint for data-driven approaches in learning such properties. We consider…

Dimensionality reduction methods are employed to decrease data dimensionality, either to enhance machine learning performance or to facilitate data visualization in two or three-dimensional spaces. These methods typically fall into two…

Achieving globally optimal point cloud registration under partial overlaps and large misalignments remains a fundamental challenge. While simultaneous transformation ($\boldsymbol{\theta}$) and correspondence ($\mathbf{P}$) estimation has…

Projected Gradient Descent denotes a class of iterative methods for solving optimization programs. Its applicability to convex optimization programs has gained significant popularity for its intuitive implementation that involves only…

Dimensionality Reduction (DR) is widely used for visualizing high-dimensional data, often with the goal of revealing expected cluster structure. However, such a structure may not always appear in the projections. Existing DR quality metrics…

We consider a class of structured fractional minimization problems, in which the numerator part of the objective is the sum of a differentiable convex function and a convex non-smooth function, while the denominator part is a convex or…
