We address the problem of shape based classification. We interpret the shape of an object as a probability distribution governing the location of the points of the object. An imag...
We describe an improved, anatomically based approach to modeling and animating animals. Underlying muscles, bones, and generalized tissue are modeled as triangle meshes or ellipso...
The paper presents an evaluation of four clustering algorithms: k-means, average linkage, complete linkage, and Ward’s method, with the latter three being different hierarchical...
This paper presents a hybrid method for creating three-dimensional shapes by sketching silhouette curves. Given a silhouette curve, we approximate its medial axis as a set of line...
Abstract Image retrieval has nowadays several industrial applications. In these imaging applications, which typically use large image archives, the matter of computational efficien...
