– Future space missions are expected to use robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. To carry out these tasks, robots need to know the ...
Free-form deformations (FFD) constitute an important geometric shape modification method that has been extensively investigated for computer animation and geometric modelling. In t...
Pose and illumination changes from picture to picture are two main barriers toward full automatic face recognition. In this paper, a novel method to handle both pose and lighting c...
Abstract. We present a new algorithm for modeling and characterizing shape changes in 3D image sequences of biomedical structures. Our algorithm tracks the shape changes of the obj...

A novel shape based segmentation approach is proposed by modifying the external energy component of a deformable model. The proposed external energy component depends not only on t...
