Gaussian Processes provide good prior models for spatial data, but can be too smooth. In many physical situations there are discontinuities along bounding surfaces, for example fronts in near-surface wind elds. We describe a modelling method for such a constrained discontinuity and demonstrate how to infer the model parameters in wind elds with MCMC sampling.

-A new feasible direction method for linear programming problems is presented. The method is not boundary following. The method proceeds from a feasible interior point in a direction that improves the objective function until a point on a constraint surface is met. At this point searches are initiated in the hyperplane of constant function value by using projections of the bounding constraints ...

This project proposes a methodology for 3D tracking of objects in relation to a planar surface, with trajectory accuracy enhanced using applied statistical analysis. Planar surface extraction, with camera position and orientation invariance, is achieved by finding limiting regions established by graph-based segmentation and mapping the resulting segments to disparity data from a stereo camera. ...

We analytically analyze finite plane strain twisting deformations of a hollow cylinder made of an isotropic and inhomogeneousMooney-Rivlinmaterial withmaterial moduli varying in the radial direction. The cylinder is deformed by applying either tangential tractions on the inner surface and tangential displacements on the outer surface or vice versa. The radial variation of the moduli is found th...

We present a surface deformation framework for the problem of 3D shape recovery. A spatially smooth and topologically plausible surface mesh representation is constructed via a surface evolution based technique, starting from an initial model. The initial mesh, representing the bounding surface, is refined or simplified where necessary during surface evolution using a set of local mesh transfor...
