Characteristics of the 2D shape deformation in human motion contain rich information for human identification and pose estimation. In this paper, we introduce a framework for sim...
Reliable segmentation of the left ventricle is a long sought objective in medical imaging for automatic retrieval of anatomical and pathological measurements and detection of malf...
This paper presents a new deformable modeling strategy aimed at integrating shape and appearance in a unified space. If we think traditional deformable models as "active cont...
Pictorial Structures (PS) define a probabilistic model of 2D articulated objects in images. Typical PS models assume an object can be represented by a set of rigid parts connecte...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is given a sequence of its observations. We define a term called ‘‘deformability index’’ (DI) ...
