This paper presents a multi-scale generative model for representing animate shapes and extracting meaningful parts of objects. The model assumes that animate shapes (2D simple clo...
We present a solution to the general problem of characterizing shadows in scenes involving a uniform polygonal area emitter and a polygonal occluder in arbitrary position by manif...
