We present a method for nonrigid registration of 2-D geometric shapes. Our contribution is twofold. First, we extend the classic chamfer-matching energy to a variational functional...
—Deformable models have recently been proposed for many pattern recognition applications due to their ability to handle large shape variations.These proposed approaches represent...
One of the biggest challenges in non-rigid shape retrieval and comparison is the design of a shape descriptor that would maintain invariance under a wide class of transformations ...
An object seen from different viewpoints results in differently deformed images. Affine-invariant shape classification must classify correctly the object, disregarding its viewpoi...
Standard image based segmentation approaches perform poorly when there is little or no contrast along boundaries of different regions. In such cases, segmentation is largely perfor...
