Principal Spine Shape Deformation Modes Using Riemannian Geometry and Articulated Models
We present a method to extract principal deformation modes from a set of articulated models describing the human spine. The spine was expressed as a set of rigid transforms that su...

An affine invariant deformable shape representation for general curves
Automatic construction of Shape Models from examples has been the focus of intense research during the last couple of years. These methods have proved to be useful for shape segme...

The Hough Transform's Implicit Bayesian Foundation
This paper shows that the basic Hough transform is implicitly a Bayesian process--that it computes an unnormalized posterior distribution over the parameters of a single shape giv...

Characterizing Shape Using Conformal Factors
We present a new 3D shape descriptor based on conformal geometry. Our descriptor is invariant under non-rigid quasi-isometric transformations, such as pose changes of articulated ...

3D Shape Modelling through a Constrained Estimation of a Bicubic B-spline Surface
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...
