Existing techniques to compress point cloud attributes leverage either geometric or video-based compression tools. We explore a radically different approach inspired by recent advances in point cloud representation learning. Point clouds can be interpreted as 2D manifolds in 3D space. Specifically, we fold a 2D grid on…

Study of harmonic maps on 2D simplicial complexes, proving existence and regularity.

The paper establishes T-duality for 2D σ-models with H-flux.
Many mobile robots rely on 2D laser scanners for localization, mapping, and navigation. However, those sensors are unable to correctly provide distance to obstacles such as glass panels and tables whose actual occupancy is invisible at the height the sensor is measuring. In this work, instead of estimating the distance…
Paper connects 3D gravity averages to 2D CFT correlators.
Study on p-biharmonic maps from gradient Ricci solitons, focusing on 2D cigar soliton.
When using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for segmentation of organs and lesions in medical images, the conventional approach is to work with inputs and outputs either as single slice (2D) or whole volumes (3D). One common alternative, in this study denoted as pseudo-3D, is to use a stack of adjacent slices as in…
Autonomous driving requires 3D perception of vehicles and other objects in the in environment. Much of the current methods support 2D vehicle detection. This paper proposes a flexible pipeline to adopt any 2D detection network and fuse it with a 3D point cloud to generate 3D information with minimum changes of the 2D d…
For a closed topological manifold M with dim (M) >= 5 the topological structure set S(M) admits an abelian group structure which may be identified with the algebraic structure group of M as defined by Ranicki. If dim (M) = 2d-1, M is oriented and M is equipped with a map to the classifying space of a finite group G, th…
Strict type-II blowup in harmonic map flow is proven to have Hölder continuous body map.
The Chirikov standard map and the 2D Froeschlé map are investigated. A few thousand values of the Hurst exponent (HE) and the maximal Lyapunov exponent (mLE) are plotted in a mixed space of the nonlinear parameter versus the initial condition. Both characteristic exponents reveal remarkably similar structures in this s…
We present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve), whose topology is easy to compute, under a birational mapping of the plane or the spac…
We build a connection between topology of smooth 4-manifolds and the theory of topological modular forms by considering topologically twisted compactification of 6d (1,0) theories on 4-manifolds with flavor symmetry backgrounds. The effective 2d theory has (0,1) supersymmetry and, possibly, a residual flavor symmetry. …
The paper finds a family of 2D surfaces where Laplacian and Dirichlet-to-Neumann commute.
We study the periods mapping from the moduli space of real hyperelliptic curves with marked point on an oriented oval to the euclidean space. The mapping arises in the analysis of Chebyshev construction used in the constrained optimization of the uniform norm of polynomials and rational functions. The decomposition of …
In this work we reduce undersampling artefacts in two-dimensional () golden-angle radial cine cardiac MRI by applying a modified version of the U-net. We train the network on spatio-temporal slices which are previously extracted from the image sequences. We compare our approach to two and a Deep Lear…
3D adversarial logos can fool object detectors in real-world settings.
Our goal is to provide a novel method of representing 2D shapes, where each shape will be assigned a unique fingerprint - a computable approximation to a conformal map of the given shape to a canonical shape in 2D or 3D space (see page 22 for a few examples). In this paper, we make the first significant step in this pr…
Segmentation maps of medical images annotated by medical experts contain rich spatial information. In this paper, we propose to decompose annotation maps to learn disentangled and richer feature transforms for segmentation problems in medical images. Our new scheme consists of two main stages: decompose and integrate. …
We study a class of elastic energy functionals for maps between planar domains (among them the so-called squared distance functional) whose critical points (elastic maps) allow a far more complete theory than one would expect from general elasticity theory. For some of these functionals elastic maps even admit a "Weier…
Framework improves ML flood mapping generalization.
This paper proposes a framework based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic heart sound classification using short-segments of individual heart beats. We design a 1D-CNN that directly learns features from raw heart-sound signals, and a 2D-CNN that takes inputs of two- dimensional time-frequency fea…

This paper proposes grid cells encode position via a conformal isometric embedding of 2D physical space.
The abstract shows how embeddings inscribe trapezoids or map three points to a line, proving nonexistence of certain maps.
In this paper we classify maps from a torus phase space to , the space of , non-singular hermitian operators up to equivariant homotopy. The equivariance is with respect to a time-reversal involution on and an involution on defining a certain symmetry class. Furthe…
Characterizes values at infinity for real polynomial maps with 2D fibers.
Logistic Gaussian process (LGP) priors provide a flexible alternative for modelling unknown densities. The smoothness properties of the density estimates can be controlled through the prior covariance structure of the LGP, but the challenge is the analytically intractable inference. In this paper, we present approximat…
Study on Gauss maps of minimal surfaces over projective hypersurfaces.
The central problem of strip theory is the calculation of potential flowaround 2D sections. One particular method of solutions to this problem is conformal mapping of the body section to the unit circle over which a solution of potential flow is available. Here, a new multiparameter conformal mapping method is presente…
The paper uses Bayesian Surprise to identify unexpected structures in indoor environments.
The uninformative ordering of artificial neurons in Deep Neural Networks complicates visualizing activations in deeper layers. This is one reason why the internal structure of such models is very unintuitive. In neuroscience, activity of real brains can be visualized by highlighting active regions. Inspired by those te…

Derive bihamiltonian structure for rational reduction of 2D-Toda hierarchy
RNNs and their variants have been widely adopted for image captioning. In RNNs, the production of a caption is driven by a sequence of latent states. Existing captioning models usually represent latent states as vectors, taking this practice for granted. We rethink this choice and study an alternative formulation, name…

For many automated driving functions, a highly accurate perception of the vehicle environment is a crucial prerequisite. Modern high-resolution radar sensors generate multiple radar targets per object, which makes these sensors particularly suitable for the 2D object detection task. This work presents an approach to de…
New method reconstructs 3D shapes from 2D images using Kendall's shape space.
SU(2) flat connection on 2D Riemann surface is shown to relate to the generalized twisted geometry in 3D space with cosmological constant. Various flat connection quantities on Riemann surface are mapped to the geometrical quantities in discrete 3D space. We propose that the moduli space of SU(2) flat connections on Ri…
