48 results for axial self-attention

For singular corank 1 surfaces in R3\mathbb R^3 we introduce a distinguished normal vector called the axial vector. Using this vector and the curvature parabola we define a new type of curvature called the axial curvature, which generalizes the singular curvature for frontal type singularities. We then study contact pr…
