Thin plate splines are a well known entity of geometric design. They are defined as the minimizer of a variational problem whose differential operators approximate a simple notio...
The Gamma language is based on the chemical reaction metaphor which has a number of benefits with respect to parallelism and program derivation. But the original definition of G...
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...
In this work we provide a new methodology for comparing regression functions m1 and m2 from two samples. Since apart from smoothness no other (parametric) assumptions are required...
—The goal of this work is to develop statistical models for the shape change of a configuration of “landmark” points (key points of interest) over time and to use these mode...
