We present a novel method to model and estimate elastic geometric deformations of an observed object, whether they are caused by the object’s own dynamic behavior, or by the dyn...
We present a new approach to the general problem of template-based segmentation, detection, and registration. This joint problem is highly nonlinear and high dimensional, due to t...
Abstract— This paper models (large) deformations of shelllike objects under the grasping of a robot hand. Classical nonlinear theory of thin shells [21, pp. 186-194] is generaliz...
For handwritten character recognition, a new elastic image matching (EM) technique based on a class-dependent deformation model is proposed. In the deformation model, any deformat...
This paper shows how range-flow can help to estimate the elastic constants of complete objects. In our framework, the object is deformed actively by a robotic device pushing into ...
