This paper studies shapes (curves and surfaces) which can be described by (piecewise) polynomial support functions. The class of these shapes is closed under convolutions, offsett...
Traditionally, shape transformation using implicit functions is performed in two distinct steps: 1) creating two implicit functions, and 2) interpolating between these two functio...
This article examines projectively-invariant local geometric properties of smooth curves and surfaces. Oriented projective differential geometry is proposed as a general framework ...
We introduce in this paper a new face coding and recognition method which employs the Enhanced FLD (Fisher Linear Discrimimant) Model (EFM)on integrated shape (vector) and texture...
Shape analyses (Chase et al. 1990, Sagiv et al. 2002) discover properties of dynamic and/or mutable structures. We ask, "Is there an equivalent to shape analysis for purely fu...
