Registration is a fundamental task in image processing used to match two or more pictures
taken, for example, at different times, from different sensors, or from different viewpoints …

In many areas of industry, it is desirable to create geometric models of existing objects for
which no such model is available. This paper reviews the process of reverse engineering of …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

This paper deals with local 3D descriptors for surface matching. First, we categorize existing
methods into two classes: Signatures and Histograms. Then, by discussion and experiments …

Measuring the similarity between 3D shapes is a fundamental problem, with applications in
computer graphics, computer vision, molecular biology, and a variety of other fields. A …

Pattern recognition, image processing and computer vision are closely linked areas which
have seen enormous progress in the last fifty years. Their applications in our daily life …

Recognition of three dimensional (3D) objects in noisy and cluttered scenes is a challenging
problem in 3D computer vision. One approach that has been successful in past research is …

As the number of 3D models available on the Web grows, there is an increasing need for a
search engine to help people find them. Unfortunately, traditional text-based search …

Recent years have witnessed a big leap in automatic visual saliency detection attributed to
advances in deep learning, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). However …

This paper presents procedures for the explicit parametric representation and global
description of surfaces of simply connected 3-D objects. The novel techniques overcome …
