We propose a model of the joint variation of shape and appearance of portions of an image sequence. The model is conditionally linear, and can be thought of as an extension of acti...
Many traditional methods for shape classification involve
establishing point correspondences between shapes to
produce matching scores, which are in turn used as similarity
meas...
Color and texture have been widely used in image segmentation; however, their performance is often hindered by scene ambiguities, overlapping objects, or missing parts. In this pa...
Given two shapes, the correspondence between distinct visual features is the basis for most alignment processes and shape similarity measures. This paper presents an approach intr...
We present a new algorithm for simplifying the shape of 3D objects by manipulating their medial axis transform (MAT). From an unorganized set of boundary points, our algorithm com...
