We wish to endow the manifold M of smooth curves in lRn with a Riemannian metric that allows us to treat continuous morphs (homotopies) between two curves c0 and c1 as trajectorie...
Current two-dimensional image based face recognition systems encounter difficulties with large facial appearance variations due to the pose, illumination and expression changes. ...
We describe a framework for registering a group of images together using a set of non-linear diffeomorphic warps. The result of the groupwise registration is an implicit definition...

The variation caused by aging has not received adequate attention compared with pose, lighting, and expression variations. Aging is a complex process that affects both the 3D shap...
This paper introduces a new method for shape registration by matching vector distance functions. The vector distance function representation is more flexible than the conventional...
