RootsGLOH2: embedding RootSIFT 'square rooting' in sGLOH2
2020
This study introduces an extension of the shifting gradient local orientation histogram doubled (sGLOH2) local image descriptor inspired by RootSIFT ‘square rooting’ as a way to indirectly alter the matching distance used to compare the descriptor vectors. The extended descriptor, named RootsGLOH2, achieved the best results in terms of matching accuracy and robustness among the latest state-of-the-art non-deep descriptors in recent evaluation contests dealing with both planar and non-planar scenes. RootsGLOH2 also achieves a matching accuracy very close to that obtained by the best deep descriptors to date. Beside confirming that ‘square rooting’ has beneficial effects on sGLOH2 as it happe…
Quasisymmetric structures on surfaces
2009
We show that a locally Ahlfors 2-regular and locally linearly locally contractible metric surtace is locally quasisymmetrically equivalent to tne disk. We also discuss an application of this result to the problem of characterizing surfaces embedded in some Euclidean spaces that are locally bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a ball in the plane.
Geometry and quasisymmetric parametrization of Semmes spaces
2014
We consider decomposition spaces R/G that are manifold factors and admit defining sequences consisting of cubes-with-handles. Metrics on R/G constructed via modular embeddings of R/G into Euclidean spaces promote the controlled topology to a controlled geometry. The quasisymmetric parametrizability of the metric space R/G×R by R for any m ≥ 0 imposes quantitative topological constraints, in terms of the circulation and the growth of the cubes-with-handles, to the defining sequences for R/G. We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of parametrization. The necessary condition answers negatively a question of Heinonen and Semmes on quasisymmetric parametrizabi…
Differential of metric valued Sobolev maps
2020
We introduce a notion of differential of a Sobolev map between metric spaces. The differential is given in the framework of tangent and cotangent modules of metric measure spaces, developed by the first author. We prove that our notion is consistent with Kirchheim's metric differential when the source is a Euclidean space, and with the abstract differential provided by the first author when the target is $\mathbb{R}$.
Trace and density results on regular trees
2019
We give characterizations for the existence of traces for first order Sobolev spaces defined on regular trees.
Analytic Continuation of the Kite Family
2019
We consider results for the master integrals of the kite family, given in terms of ELi-functions which are power series in the nome q of an elliptic curve. The analytic continuation of these results beyond the Euclidean region is reduced to the analytic continuation of the two period integrals which define q. We discuss the solution to the latter problem from the perspective of the Picard–Lefschetz formula.
Václav Hlavatý on intuition in Riemannian space
2019
Abstract We present a historical commentary together with an English translation of a mathematical-philosophical paper by the Czech differential geometer and later proponent of a geometrized unified field theory Vaclav Hlavatý (1894–1969). The paper was published in 1924 at the height of interpretational debates about recent advancements in differential geometry triggered by the advent of Einstein's general theory of relativity. In the paper he argued against a naive generalization of analogical reasoning valid for curves and surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space to the case of higher-dimensional curved Riemannian spaces. Instead, he claimed, the only secure ground to arrive at resu…
Uncalibrated Reconstruction: An Adaptation to Structured Light Vision
2003
Abstract Euclidean reconstruction from two uncalibrated stereoscopic views is achievable from the knowledge of geometrical constraints about the environment. Unfortunately, these constraints may be quite difficult to obtain. In this paper, we propose an approach based on structured lighting, which has the advantage of providing geometrical constraints independent of the scene geometry. Moreover, the use of structured light provides a unique solution to the tricky correspondence problem present in stereovision. The projection matrices are first computed by using a canonical representation, and a projective reconstruction is performed. Then, several constraints are generated from the image an…
Non-perturbative renormalization of lattice operators in coordinate space
2004
We present the first numerical implementation of a non-perturbative renormalization method for lattice operators, based on the study of correlation functions in coordinate space at short Euclidean distance. The method is applied to compute the renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators for the non-perturbative O(a)-improved Wilson action in the quenched approximation. The matching with perturbative schemes, such as MS-bar, is computed at the next-to-leading order in continuum perturbation theory. A feasibility study of this technique with Neuberger fermions is also presented.
An estimate for the thermal photon rate from lattice QCD
2017
We estimate the production rate of photons by the quark-gluon plasma in lattice QCD. We propose a new correlation function which provides better control over the systematic uncertainty in estimating the photon production rate at photon momenta in the range {\pi}T/2 to 2{\pi}T. The relevant Euclidean vector current correlation functions are computed with $N_{\mathrm f}$ = 2 Wilson clover fermions in the chirally-symmetric phase. In order to estimate the photon rate, an ill-posed problem for the vector-channel spectral function must be regularized. We use both a direct model for the spectral function and a model-independent estimate from the Backus-Gilbert method to give an estimate for the p…
