Geodesic Mapping for Dynamic Surface Alignment[edit]
This paper has been added and re-inserted into the article by IP users: Tung, Tony; Matsuyama, Takashi (2014). "Geodesic Mapping for Dynamic Surface Alignment". Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. 36 (5). IEEE: 901–913. doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2013.179. ISSN 0162-8828. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help) The re-insertion, by an IP address from the institution of one of the authors, has the edit summary It's a paper on geodesic mapping for dynamic surface alignment. That may be, but it is not being used to support the text of the article and there is no obvious reason to mention this particular paper among the many others that might use this concept in applications.

- The following comment was made on my talk page, but since it refers to this article it seems best to keep the discussion here.
- Do you suggest that the paper should be mentioned in a different section (e.g., "Applications") or under the "External Links"? Also, I can provide a link to some code to compute a geodesic map between two surfaces. To the best of or knowledge, this is the first application of geodesic mapping for dynamic surfaces. Note that the paper is published in the IEEE Trans. PAMI journal which is a top journal in CS and EE. (The approach has also been presented at the prestigious computer vision conference CVPR.)

- If the use of geodesic mappings in computer vision is significant, then there should be independent reliable sources that refer to it: can you cite some? If there is just one paper on the subject then citing it might well be considered giving this application undue prominence. In addition, it is considered bad practice for an author to add references to their own work (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Citing yourself), so if this applies in this case, it would be best only to discuss the matter here and not to edit the article directly. In addition, it would be helpful to register a username so that other users can keep track of who is suggesting what and where. Deltahedron (talk) 17:28, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
