Global Geometric Affinity for Revealing High Fidelity Protein Interaction Network

by preciseadmin | May 14, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding, William Benjamin

Abstract: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis presents an essential role in understanding the functional relationship among proteins in a living biological system. Despite the success of current approaches for understanding the PPI network, the large...

Heat-Mapping: A Robust Approach Toward Perceptually Consistent Mesh Segmentation

by preciseadmin | May 14, 2011 | 2011, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding

Abstract: 3D mesh segmentation is a fundamental low-level task with applications in areas as diverse as computer vision, computer-aided design, bio-informatics, and 3D medical imaging. A perceptually consistent mesh segmentation (PCMS), as defined in this paper is one...

Using Diffusion Distances for Flexible Molecular Shape Comparison

by _not_Exist_ | Oct 15, 2010 | 2010, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Publications, Shape Understanding, William Benjamin

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

Estimating view parameters from random projections for Tomography using spherical MDS
