Thesis title Visibility in Abstract Feature Spaces
Our experiments have shown that visibility detection and analysis
has a broad interpretation. This means it is applicable not only for
standard spatial 3D point clouds. Rather, it may be meaningful also in
other spaces as a measure of similarity between feature points, even
when the space and points are abstract. Hence, it reveals hidden
properties of the data, which could be used to tackle existing
Computer Vision tasks.
