  • Recognizing Algebraic Surfaces from their outlines
    International Journal of Computer Vision, 1996
    Co-Authors: David Forsyth
    Abstract:

    The outline in a single picture of a generic Algebraic Surface of degree three or greater completely determines the projective geometry of the Surface. The result holds for a generic perspective view of a generic Algebraic Surface, where the camera calibration parameters and the focal point are unknown. Known camera calibration appears not to reduce the projective ambiguity. The result is constructive.

  • ICCV - Recognizing Algebraic Surfaces from their outlines
    1993 (4th) International Conference on Computer Vision, 1
    Co-Authors: David Forsyth
    Abstract:

    The author shows that the projective invariants of an Algebraic Surface can be computed from the outline of that Surface in a perspective view using an uncalibrated camera, by showing that an outline completely determines the projective geometry of an Algebraic Surface. A single perspective view of a generic Algebraic Surface of degree three or greater uniquely determines the projective geometry of the Surface. The result holds for an unknown focal point, and an uncalibrated camera. The projective ambiguity is not improved by using a calibrated camera. >

  • Polynomial Vector Fields on Algebraic Surfaces of Revolution
    Results in Mathematics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Fabio Scalco Dias, Luis Fernando Mello
    Abstract:

    In the first part of the article we study polynomial vector fields of arbitrary degree in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ R 3 having an Algebraic Surface of revolution invariant by their flows. In the second part, we restrict our attention to an important case where the Algebraic Surface of revolution is a cubic Surface. We characterize all the possible configurations of invariant meridians and parallels that the vector fields can exhibit. Additionally we shall consider when the invariant parallels can be limit cycles. The results obtained in the second part can be adapted to the general Surfaces studied in the first part.

  • The group of automorphisms of a real rational Surface is n-transitive
    Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society The Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2009
    Co-Authors: Johannes Huisman, Frédéric Mangolte
    Abstract:

    Let X be a rational nonsingular compact connected real Algebraic Surface. Denote by Aut(X) the group of real Algebraic automorphisms of X. We show that the group Aut(X) acts n-transitively on X, for all natural integers n. As an application we give a new and simpler proof of the fact that two rational nonsingular compact connected real Algebraic Surfaces are isomorphic if and only if they are homeomorphic as topological Surfaces.

  • Real Algebraic morphisms on 2-dimensional conic bundles
    Advances in Geometry, 2006
    Co-Authors: Frédéric Mangolte
    Abstract:

    Given two nonsingular real Algebraicvarieties V and W, we consider the problem of deciding whether a smooth map f: V -> W can beapproximated by regular maps in the space ofsmooth maps from V to W. Our main result is a complete solution to this problem in case W is the usual 2-dimensional sphere and V is a real Algebraic Surface of negative Kodaira dimension.
