The real-world objects in our physical environment present with diverse information and multimodal features, including 3D shapes (geometry topology) 2D images (appearance semantics), etc. How to effectively represent correlate them a unified way is still very challenging due different modalities representations. In this paper, we novel method learn effective latent space for joint representatio...

Although integral abutment bridges (IABs) have become a preferred construction choice for short- to medium-length bridges, they still unclear bridge design guidelines. As IABs are supported by nonlinear boundaries, geometric parameters strongly affect IAB behavior and complicate predicting the response assessment purposes. This study demonstrates effect of four dominant parameters: (1) girder m...

The fundamental matrix defines a nonlinear 3D variety in the joint image space of multiple projective (or “uncalibrated perspective”) images. We show that, in the case of two images, this variety is a 4D cone whose vertex is the joint epipole (namely the 4D point obtained by stacking the two epipoles in the two images). Affine (or “para-perspective”) projection approximates this nonlinear varie...
