• Abstract: Sphericity and roundness are fundamental measures used for assessing object uniformity in 2D and 3D images. However, using their strict definition makes computation costly. As both 2D and 3D microscopy imaging datasets grow larger, there is an increased demand for efficient algorithms that can quantify multiple objects in large volumes. We propose a novel approach for extracting sphericity and roundness based on the output of a local thickness algorithm. For sphericity, we simplify the surface area computation by modeling objects as spheroids/ellipses of varying lengths and widths of mean local thickness. For roundness, we avoid a complex corner curvature determination process by approximating it with local thickness values on the contour/surface of the object. The resulting methods provide an accurate representation of the exact measures while being significantly faster than their existing implementations.

  Reconstructing a 3D shape based on a single sketch image is challenging due to the large domain gap between a sparse, irregular sketch and a regular, dense 3D shape. Existing works try to employ the global feature extracted from sketch to directly predict the 3D coordinates, but they usually suffer from losing fine details that are not faithful to the input sketch.

  State-of-the-art methods for large-scale driving-scene LiDAR semantic segmentation often project and process the point clouds in the 2D space.

We develop a 3D cylinder partition and a 3D cylinder convolution based framework, termed as Cylinder3D, which exploits the 3D topology relations and structures of driving-scene point clouds.
