We present a unified method for simultaneously acquiring both the location and the silhouette shape of people in outdoor scenes. The proposed algorithm integrates top-down and bot...
Object classification often operates by making decisions based on the values of several shape properties measured from the image. This paper describes and tests several algorithms...
Non-rigid shape registration is an important issue in computer vision. In this paper we propose a novel globalto-local procedure for aligning non-rigid shapes. The global similari...
This paper presents a geometric measure that can be used to gauge the similarity of 2D shapes by comparing their skeletons. The measure is defined to be the rate of change of bou...
We propose a framework to learn statistical shape models for faces as piecewise linear models. Specifically, our methodology builds upon primitive active shape models(ASM) to hand...
