We present a method for object class detection in images based on global shape. A distance measure for elastic shape matching is derived, which is invariant to scale and rotation,...
Image segmentation with shape priors has received a lot of attention over the past years. Most existing work focuses on a linearized shape space with small deformation modes aroun...
In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
Occlusions provide critical cues about the 3D structure of man-made and natural scenes. We present a mathematical framework and algorithm to detect and localize occlusions in image...
A fast collision detection and resolution scheme is one of the key components for interactive simulation of deformable objects. It is particularly challenging to reduce the computa...
