This paper surveys mesh segmentation techniques and algorithms, with a focus on part‐
based segmentation, that is, segmentation that divides a mesh (featuring a 3D object) into …

Visual shape recognition in primates depends on a multi-stage pathway running from
primary visual cortex (V1) to inferotemporal cortex (IT). The mechanisms by which local …

Interest in convexity has a long history in vision science. For smooth contours in an image, it
is possible to code regions of positive (convex) and negative (concave) curvature, and this …

We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes,
into``approximately convex''pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex …

Rapid developments in live-cell three-dimensional (3D) microscopy enable imaging of cell
morphology and signaling with unprecedented detail. However, tools to systematically …

Abstract F. Attneave (1954) famously suggested that information along visual contours is
concentrated in regions of high magnitude of curvature, rather than being distributed …

In this paper, we describe an algorithm called fast marching watersheds that segments a
triangle mesh into visual parts. This computer vision algorithm leverages a human vision …

Skeletal representations of shape have attracted enormous interest ever since their
introduction by Blum [Blum H (1973) J Theor Biol 38: 205–287], because of their potential to …

Can we find an object-based encoding benefit in visual short-term memory (VSTM) when the
features to be remembered are from different parts of an object? Using object parts defined …

We prove strong lower bounds for the space complexity of (/spl epsi/,/spl delta/)-
approximating the number of distinct elements F/sub 0/in a data stream. Let m be the size of …
