Morse-smale complexes for piecewise linear 3-manifolds
We define the Morse-Smale complex of a Morse function over a 3-manifold as the overlay of the descending and ascending manifolds of all critical points. In the generic case, its ...

Principal Spine Shape Deformation Modes Using Riemannian Geometry and Articulated Models
We present a method to extract principal deformation modes from a set of articulated models describing the human spine. The spine was expressed as a set of rigid transforms that su...

Shape analysis algorithm based on information theory
In this paper, we describe an algorithm to measure the shape complexity for discrete approximations of planar curves in 2D images and manifold surfaces for 3D triangle meshes. We ...

Template Based Shape Descriptor
We introduce a new 3D shape descriptor which maps the surface features onto an arbitrary template surface using mean-value interpolation. A compact numerical shape descriptor is e...

The Generalized Shape Distributions for Shape Matching and Analysis
This paper presents a novel 3D shape descriptor "The Generalized Shape Distributions" for effective shape matching and analysis, by taking advantage of both local and gl...
