Shape Transformation Using Variational Implicit Functions
Traditionally, shape transformation using implicit functions is performed in two distinct steps: 1) creating two implicit functions, and 2) interpolating between these two functio...

Skeleton-based Hierarchical Shape Segmentation
We present an effective framework for segmenting 3D shapes into meaningful components using the curve skeleton. Our algorithm identifies a number of a critical points on the curv...

Recognizing Shapes in Video Sequences Using Multi-class Boosting
We model the spatio-temporal variations of the shape of objects in a video sequence using a unique SVD-like decomposition. The decomposition is used to compute shape features, whi...

Persistence Barcodes for Shapes
In this paper, we initiate a study of shape description and classification via the application of persistent homology to tangential constructions on geometric objects. Our techniq...

Locating Facial Features with an Extended Active Shape Model
We make some simple extensions to the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [4], and use it to locate features in frontal views of upright faces. We show on independent test data tha...
