Abstract. In this paper, we present a general approach to shape characterization and deformation analysis of 2D/3D deformable visual objects. In particular, we define a reference ...
We present a novel method for tracking objects by combining density matching with shape priors. Density matching is a tracking method which operates by maximizing the Bhattacharyy...
We make some simple extensions to the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [4], and use it to locate features in frontal views of upright faces. We show on independent test data tha...
Wepresent a method for personal authentication based on deformable matching of hand shapes. Authentication systems are already employed in domains that require some sort of user v...
The use of statistical shape models is a promising approach for robust segmentation of medical images. One of the major challenges in building a 3D shape model from a training set ...
