Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
A novel method based on shape morphing is proposed for 2D shape recognition. In this framework, the shape of objects is described by using their contour. Shape recognition involve...
A good model of object shape is essential in applications such as segmentation, object detection, inpainting and graphics. For example, when performing segmentation, local constra...
We introduce a robust probabilistic approach to modeling shape contours based on a lowdimensional, nonlinear latent variable model. In contrast to existing techniques that use obj...
