Local curvature represents an important shape parameter of space curves which are well described by differential geometry. We have developed an estimator for local curvature of spa...
Skeletonization algorithms typically decompose an object’s
silhouette into a set of symmetric parts, offering a
powerful representation for shape categorization. However,
havi...

In this paper, we propose two new, perceptually motivated strategies to better measure the similarity of 2D shape instances that are in the form of closed contours. The first strat...

We present a novel representation of shape for closed contours in R2 or for compact surfaces in R3 explicitly designed to possess a linear structure. This greatly simplifies linear...

Deformable contours are now widely used in image segmentation, using different models, criteria and numeric schemes. Some theoretical comparisons between few deformable model met...
