A Study on Topological Descriptors for the Analysis of 3D Surface Texture
Methods from computational topology are becoming more and more popular in computer vision and have shown to improve the state-of-the-art in several tasks. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of topological descriptors in the context of 3D surface analysis for the classification of different surface textures. We present a comprehensive study on topological descriptors, investigate their robustness and expressiveness and compare them with state-of-the-art methods including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Results show that class-specific information is reflected well in topological descriptors. The investigated descriptors can directly compete with non-topological descriptors and capture complementary information. As a consequence they improve the state-of-the-art when combined with non-topological descriptors.

Topological descriptors for 3D surface analysis
We investigate topological descriptors for 3D surface analysis, i.e. the classification of surfaces according to their geometric fine structure. On a dataset of high-resolution 3D surface reconstructions we compute persi…

The interaction between a turbulent convective boundary layer (CBL) and the underlying land surface is an important research problem in the geosciences. In order to model this interaction adequately, it is necessary to d…
Wavelet based multi-scale shape features on arbitrary surfaces for cortical thickness discrimination
Hypothesis testing on signals defined on surfaces (such as the cortical surface) is a fundamental component of a variety of studies in Neuroscience. The goal here is to identify regions that exhibit changes as a function …
