Abstract. A simple scheme is presented for modifying geometric moments to use geodesic distances. This provides a set of global shape descriptors that are invariant to bending as w...
Fitting statistical 2D and 3D shape models to images is necessary for a variety of tasks, such as video editing and face recognition. Much progress has been made on local fitting...
Multiresolution shape representation is a very effective way to decompose surface geometry into several levels of detail. Geometric modeling with such representations enables flex...
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
The global shape prior knowledge has been exploited by many image segmentation approaches in order to improve segmentation results when there are such problems as occlusion, clutt...
Abstract. The PROBADO project is a research effort to develop Digital Library support for non-textual documents. The main goal is to contribute to all parts of the Digital Library...
We address the problem of estimating the three-dimensional shape and radiance of a surface in space from images obtained with different focal settings. We pose the problem as an in...
