All surfaces can be classified by the conformal equivalence
relation. Conformal invariants, which are shape indices
that can be defined intrinsically on a surface, may
be used t...

An important goal of statistical shape analysis is the discrimination between populations of objects, exploring group differences in morphology not explained by standard volumetri...

Abstract— Continuum robots made from telescoping precurved elastic tubes enable base-mounted actuators to specify the curved shapes of robots as thin as standard surgical needles...

The phenomenon of visual curve completion, where the visual system completes the missing part (e.g., due to occlusion) between two contour fragments, is a major problem in percept...
We present in this paper a novel approach for shape description based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). The strength of this method resides in the similarity (rotatio...
