We have witnessed great interest and a wealth of promise in content-based image retrieval
as an emerging technology. While the last decade laid foundation to such promise, it also …

Three-dimensional shape searching is a problem of current interest in several different
fields. Most techniques have been developed for a particular domain and reduce a shape …

Presents a review of 200 references in content-based image retrieval. The paper starts with
discussing the working conditions of content-based retrieval: patterns of use, types of …

In this paper, we provide a framework based upon diffusion processes for finding meaningful
geometric descriptions of data sets. We show that eigenfunctions of Markov matrices can be …

We have built a reliable and robust system that takes as input an astronomical image, and
returns as output the pointing, scale, and orientation of that image (the astrometric …

We review methods designed to compute correspondences between geometric shapes
represented by triangle meshes, contours or point sets. This survey is motivated in part by …

We introduce 4PCS, a fast and robust alignment scheme for 3D point sets that uses wide
bases, which are known to be resilient to noise and outliers. The algorithm allows registering …

We present a new algorithm for unbound (real life) docking of molecules, whether protein-
protein or protein-drug. The algorithm carries out rigid docking, with surface …

Abstract Building Information Models (BIMs) are becoming the official standard in the
construction industry for encoding, reusing, and exchanging information about structural …

We present an algorithm for the automatic alignment of two 3D shapes (data and model),
without any assumptions about their initial positions. The algorithm computes for each …
