The deep structure of scale-space of a signal refers to tracking the zero-crossings of differential invariants across scales. In classical approaches, feature tracking is performed by neighbor search between consecutive levels of a discrete collection of scales. Such an approach is prone to noise and tracking errors and provides just a coarse...

Spot heights and soundings explicitly indicate terrain elevation on cartographic maps. Cartographers have developed design principles for the manual selection, placement, labeling, and generalization of spot height locations, but these processes are work-intensive and expensive. Finding an algorithmic criterion that matches the cartographers'...

We present a radically new method for the multi-resolution representation of large terrain databases. Terrain data come as a collec- tion of regularly sampled, freely overlapping grids, with arbitrary spacing and orientation. A multi-resolution model is built and updated dynam- ically off-line from such grids, which can be queried on-line to...

We propose a method for extracting fiducial points from human faces that uses 3D information only and is based on two key steps: multi-scale curvature analysis, and the reliable tracking of features in a scale-space based on curvature. Our scale-space analysis, coupled to careful use of prior information based on variability boundaries of...
