Shape skeleton extraction is a fundamental preprocessing task in shape-based pattern recognition. This paper presents a new algorithm for fast and precise extraction of kinematic ...
Over the past few years, several methods for segmenting a scene containing multiple rigidly moving objects have been proposed. However, most existing methods have been tested on a...
We discuss the issues and challenges of generic object recognition. We argue that high-level, volumetric part-based descriptions are essential in the process of recognizing object...
This paper presents a method of estimating both 3-D shapes and moving poses of an articulated object from a monocular image sequence. Instead of using direct depth data, prior loo...
Skeleton is a lower dimensional shape description of an object. The requirements of a skeleton differ with applications. For example, object recognition requires skeletons with pr...
