The Gauss map projects surface normals to a unit sphere, providing a powerful visualization of the geometry of a graphical object. It can be used to predict visual events caused b...

A method for shape analysis of diatoms (single-cell algae with silica shells) based on extraction of features on the contour of the cells by multi-scale mathematical morphology is...

A high-level approach to describe the characteristics of a surface is to segment it into regions of uniform curehavior and construct an abstract representation given by a (topolog...

Abstract. We present a qualitative shape description which has previously been proven to be useful for object categorisation. The description is based on a set of shape primitives ...
This paper extends the idea of classification schemes for static surface curvature into the temporal domain. We seek to identify regions in sequences of depth data that exhibit va...
