Abstract. We describe a flexible object recognition and modelling system (FORMS) which represents and recognizes animate objects from their silhouettes. This consists of a model fo...
We present an ontology of objects, functions, and generic shape representation that supports form-function reasoning. By reasoning from the mechanical and other functions of object...
Motivated by applications in architecture and manufacturing, we discuss the problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels. This leads to the new concept of semi-d...

People often recognize 3D objects by their boundary shape. Designing an algorithm for such a task is interesting and useful for retrieving objects from a shape database. In this pa...
There have been important recent advances in object recognition through the matching of invariant local image features. However, the existing approaches are based on matching to i...
