GANzzle + + : Generative approaches for jigsaw puzzle solving as local to global assignment in latent spatial representations (2024)
Journal Article
Talon, D., Del Bue, A., & James, S. (2025). GANzzle + + : Generative approaches for jigsaw puzzle solving as local to global assignment in latent spatial representations. Pattern Recognition Letters, 187, 35-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2024.11.010

Jigsaw puzzles are a popular and enjoyable pastime that humans can easily solve, even with many pieces. However, solving a jigsaw is a combinatorial problem, and the space of possible solutions is exponential in the number of pieces, intractable for...

Positional diffusion: Graph-based diffusion models for set ordering (2024)
Journal Article
Giuliari, F., Scarpellini, G., Fiorini, S., James, S., Morerio, P., Wang, Y., & Del Bue, A. (2024). Positional diffusion: Graph-based diffusion models for set ordering. Pattern Recognition Letters, 186, 272-278. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2024.10.010

Positional reasoning is the process of ordering an unsorted set of parts into a consistent structure. To address this problem, we present Positional Diffusion, a plug-and-play graph formulation with Diffusion Probabilistic Models. Using a diffusion p...

Autonomous 3D reconstruction, mapping and exploration of indoor environments with a robotic arm (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., James, S., Stathopoulou, E. K., Beltrán-González, C., Konishi, Y., & Del Bue, A. (2019). Autonomous 3D reconstruction, mapping and exploration of indoor environments with a robotic arm. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 4(4), 3340-3347. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2019.2926676

We propose a novel information gain metric that combines hand-crafted and data-driven metrics to address the next best view problem for autonomous 3-D mapping of unknown indoor environments. For the hand-crafted metric, we propose an entropy-based in... Read More about Autonomous 3D reconstruction, mapping and exploration of indoor environments with a robotic arm.

Digital photographic practices as expressions of personhood and identity: variations across school leavers and recent retirees (2017)
Journal Article
Orzech, K. M., Moncur, W., Durrant, A., James, S., & Collomosse, J. (2017). Digital photographic practices as expressions of personhood and identity: variations across school leavers and recent retirees. Visual Studies, 32(4), 313-328. https://doi.org/10.1080/1472586X.2017.1362959

Over the last two decades, digital photography has been adopted by young and old. Many young adults easily take photos, share them across multiple social networks using smartphones, and create digital identities for themselves consciously and unconsc...

Texture Stationarization: Turning Photos into Tilable Textures (2017)
Journal Article
Moritz, J., James, S., Haines, T. S., Ritschel, T., & Weyrich, T. (2017). Texture Stationarization: Turning Photos into Tilable Textures. Computer Graphics Forum, 36(2), 177-188. https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.13117

Texture synthesis has grown into a mature field in computer graphics, allowing the synthesis of naturalistic textures and images from photographic exemplars. Surprisingly little work, however, has been dedicated to synthesizing tileable textures, tha... Read More about Texture Stationarization: Turning Photos into Tilable Textures.
