We demonstrate a novel approach to modelling arbitrary temporally-deforming objects using spatio-temporal Fourier descriptors. This is a continuous boundary descriptor, which can ...
In this paper we present an improved Active Shape Model (ASM) for facial features extraction. The original ASM developed by Cootes et al. [1] suffers from factors such as, poor mod...

Active Shape Models (ASM) have proven to be an effective approach for image segmentation. In some applications, however, the linear model of gray level appearance around a contour ...

We present an approach to visual tracking based on dividing a
target into multiple regions, or fragments. The target is represented
by a Gaussian mixture model in a joint feature...
In this paper, we present a new deformable model — 2.5D Active Contour— that is capable of directly extracting shape geometry from 3D unorganized point cloud datasets. The rec...
