Contours have been established in the biological and computer vision literature as a compact yet descriptive representation of object shape. While individual contours provide stru...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
We present a Bayesian approach to image-based visual hull reconstruction. The 3-D shape of an object of a known class is represented by sets of silhouette views simultaneously obs...

Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
This paper presents a morphological scale-space approach to the problem of feature extraction. The method relies on two steps: a hierarchical simplification step based on pyramids...
