This paper presents a novel statistical shape model that can be used to detect and localise feature points of a class of objects in images. The shape model is inspired from the 3D...
Statistical shape analysis techniques commonly employed in the medical imaging community, such as Active Shape Models or Active Appearance Models, rely on Principal Component Anal...

We present a novel motion-based approach for the part determination and shape estimation of a human’s body parts. The novelty of the technique is that neither a prior model of t...
In this paper, we propose a new vector quantization method to create video thumbnail. In particular, we employ video time density function (VTDF) to explore the temporal character...
A new method for three dimensional (3D) genus-zero shape classification is proposed. It conformally maps a 3D mesh onto a unit sphere and uses normal vectors to generate a spheric...
