This paper introduces an affine invariant shape descriptor for maximally stable extremal regions (MSER). Affine invariant feature descriptors are normally computed by sampling the...
This paper introduces a shape descriptor, the soft shape context, motivated by the shape context method. Unlike the original shape context method, where each image point was hard ...
—We present a multiresolution scheme for symbol representation and recognition based on statistical shape features. We define a symbol as a set of shape points, each of which is...
Content based shape image retrieval is an important problem which gained the attention of the community. The challenge is to map the shape into compact and robust descriptor. This...
The finite element method is applied to generate primitives that build continuous deformable shapes designed to support a new free-form modeling paradigm. The primitives autonomou...
