Perfect Laplacians for Polygon Meshes

A discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator is called perfect if it possesses all the important properties of its smooth counterpart. It is known which triangle meshes admit perfect Laplace operators and how to fix... Read more »

Hierarchical Multiview Rigid Registration

Registration is a key step in the 3D reconstruction of real-world objects. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical method for the rigid registration of multiple views. The multiview registration problem is... Read more »

Continuous Matching via Vector Field Flow

We present a new method for non-rigid shape matching designed to enforce continuity of the resulting correspondence. Our method is based on the recently proposed functional map representation, which allows efficient manipulation... Read more »

Homotopic Morphing of Planar Curves

This paper presents an algorithm for morphing between closed, planar piecewise-C1 curves. The morph is guaranteed to be a regular homotopy, meaning that pinching will not occur in the intermediate curves. The algorithm... Read more »

Sparse Non-rigid Registration of 3D Shapes

Non-rigid registration of 3D shapes is an essential task of increasing importance as commodity depth sensors become more widely available for scanning dynamic scenes. Non-rigid registration is much more challenging than rigid... Read more »

LeSSS: Learned Shared Semantic Spaces for Relating Multi-Modal Representations of 3D Shapes

In this paper, we propose a new method for structuring multi-modal representations of shapes according to semantic relations. We learn a metric that links semantically similar objects represented in different modalities. First,... Read more »

Analysis and synthesis of 3D shape families via deep-learned generative models of surfaces

We present a method for joint analysis and synthesis of geometrically diverse 3D shape families. Our method first learns part-based templates such that an optimal set of fuzzy point and part correspondences... Read more »

Dynamic SfM: Detecting Scene Changes from Image Pairs

Detecting changes in scenes is important in many scene understanding tasks. In this paper, we pursue this goal simply from a pair of image recordings. Specifically, our goal is to infer what... Read more »

An Image Degradation Model for Depth-augmented Image Editing

Images remain the most popular medium to capture our surroundings. Although significant advances have been made in developing image editing tools, the key challenge is to intelligently account for missing depth information.... Read more »
