Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...

We develop a new framework for the quantitative analysis of shapes of planar curves. Shapes are modeled on elastic strings that can be bent, stretched or compressed at different r...
The aim of this paper is to propose tools for statistical analysis of shape families using morphological operators. Given a series of shape families (or shape categories), the appr...
Similarity measuring is a key problem for 3D model retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel shape descriptor "Thickness Histogram" (TH) by uniformly estimating thick...
