This paper presents an efficient method for extracting the skeleton of a planar shape. The method is based on computing local symmetries of the shape’s linearized contour. The ce...
We present a method for extracting a hierarchical, rigid skeleton from a set of example poses. We then use this skeleton to not only reproduce the example poses, but create new de...
Skeleton can be viewed as a compact shape representation in that the shape can be completely reconstructed form the skeleton. We present a novel method for skeleton pruning that is...
The geometric skeleton is derived from a static object using an implicit `directions' method; an IK skeleton is derived from and used to manipulate the geometric skeleton. Th...
This paper proposes a method for stroke segmentation to decompose Chinese characters to become individual strokes. The method first obtains the medial axes of any given Chinese cha...
