In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
Shape matrices have been used as a representation of planar shapes like industrial parts or printed characters. In this paper, we investigate the use of shape matrices as a mixed ...

In this paper, we present a segmentation method that provides perceptually relevant partitions without any a priori knowledge of the image content: first a local homogeneity analy...
This paper gives an overview of some recent methods useful for local and global shape analysis and for the design of solids. These methods include as new tools for global and loca...
Graph cut image segmentation with intensity information alone is prone to fail for objects with weak edges, in clutter, or under occlusion. Existing methods to incorporate shape a...
