Abstract: Background: The conventional superposition methods use an ordinary least squares (LS) fit for structural comparison of two different conformations of the same protein. The main problem of the LS fit that it is sensitive to outliers, i.e. large...

Abstract: Background: Many molecules of interest are flexible and undergo significant shape deformation as part of their function, but most existing methods of molecular shape comparison (MSC) treat them as rigid bodies, which may lead to incorrect measure of...

Abstract: Beautification of freehand sketches is integral for building robust sketch understanding systems and sketch-based inter-faces for CAD. Many of the current methods for beautification do not consider some important information implied in the sketches such as...

Abstract:A robust technique for determining the principal axes of a 3D shape represented by a point set, possibly with noise, is presented. We use techniques from robust statistics to guide the classical principal component analysis (PCA) computation. Our algorithm is...
