Abstract. Real time and markerless motion capture is an active research area, due to applications in human-computer interactions, for example. A large part of the existing markerle...
The goal of this paper is to investigate a new shape analysis method based on randomized cuts of 3D surface meshes. The general strategy is to generate a random set of mesh segmen...
We present in this paper a novel approach for shape description based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). The strength of this method resides in the similarity (rotatio...
We propose a method for human activity recognition in videos, based on shape analysis. We define local shape descriptors for interest points on the detected contour of the human a...
This paper expands the role of the new field of computational topology by surveying methods for incorporating connectedness in shape modeling. Two geometric representations in par...
