We propose a shape population metric that reflects the interdependencies between points observed in a set of examples. It provides a notion of topology for shape and appearance m...
Modeling free-form shapes in 3D spaces based on strict physical laws require a considerable amount of computation time. Previous experiences with Cellular Automata demonstrated sub...
This paper presents a new model of object classes which incorporates appearance and shape information jointly. Modeling objects appearance by distributions of visual words has rec...
This paper presents a statistical shape model for automatic skull stripping of MR brain images. A surface model of the brain boundary is hierarchically represented by a set of ove...
Abstract. In this work, we present two active shape models for the segmentation of tubular objects. The first model is built using cylindrical parameterization and minimum descrip...
