Principal curves, like principal components, are a tool used in multivariate analysis for ends like feature extraction. Defined in their original form, principal curves need not ex...
This paper studies the k-segments algorithm proposed by Verbeek et al. [Verbeek, J.J., Vlassis, N., Krose, B., 2002. A k-segments algorithm for finding principal curves, Pattern R...
Principal curves have been defined as "self consistent" smooth curves which pass through the "middle" of a d-dimensional probability distribution or data cloud...
We propose a novel method of greedy similarity measure to segment long spatial-temporal video sequences. Firstly, a principal curve of motion region along frames of a video sequen...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
