Abstract. We propose an improved shape matching algorithm that extends the work of Felzenszwalb [3]. In this approach, we use triangular meshes to represent deformable objects and ...
We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
We describe some techniques that can be used to represent and detect deformable shapes in images. The main difficulty with deformable template models is the very large or infinite...
This paper describes a method to align textured range images of deforming objects. The proposed procedure aligns deformable 3D models by matching both texture and shape features. ...
An object seen from different viewpoints results in differently deformed images. Affine-invariant shape classification must classify correctly the object, disregarding its viewpoi...
