A large family of shape comparison methods is based on a medial axis transform combined with an encoding of the skeleton by a graph. Despite many qualities this encoding of shapes ...
Skeletal representations of 2-D shape, including shock graphs, have become increasingly popular for shape matching and object recognition. However, it is well known that skeletal ...

The spectrum of a graph has been widely used in graph theory to characterise the properties of a graph and extract information from its structure. It has also been employed as a g...
The instabilities of the medial axis of a shape under deformations have long been recognized as a major obstacle to its use in recognition and other applications. These instabilit...
