We propose a novel shape model for object detection called Fan Shape Model (FSM). We model contour sample points as rays of final length emanating for a reference point. As in fo...
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...
Given the facial points extracted from an image of a face in an arbitrary pose, the goal of facial-point-based headpose normalization is to obtain the corresponding facial points ...
Abstract— This paper proposes a sparsity driven shape registration method for occluded facial feature localization. Most current shape registration methods search landmark locati...
Background: To exploit the flood of data from advances in high throughput imaging of optically sectioned nuclei, image analysis methods need to correctly detect thousands of nucle...

We present a method for segmenting the parts of multiple instances of a known object category exhibiting large variations in projected shape and colour. The method builds on an ex...
Abstract--Manual quantitative analysis of cardiac left ventricular function using Multislice CT and MR is arduous because of the large data volume. In this paper, we present a 3-D ...

Statistical shape modeling is a widely used technique for the representation and analysis of the shapes and shape variations present in a population. A statistical shape model mod...
Shape information is utilized by numerous applications in computer vision, scientific visualization and computer graphics. This paper presents a novel algorithm for exploring and ...
