Qualitative Characterization of Deforming Surfaces
This paper extends the idea of classification schemes for static surface curvature into the temporal domain. We seek to identify regions in sequences of depth data that exhibit va...

Morpho: A self-deformable modular robot inspired by cellular structure
— We present a modular robot design inspired by the creation of complex structures and functions in biology via deformation. Our design is based on the Tensegrity model of cellul...

Groupwise Diffeomorphic Non-rigid Registration for Automatic Model Building
We describe a framework for registering a group of images together using a set of non-linear diffeomorphic warps. The result of the groupwise registration is an implicit definition...

Wormholes in Shape Space: Tracking Through Discontinuous Changes in Shape
Existing object tracking algorithms generally use some form of local optimisation, assuming that an object's position and shape change smoothly over time. In some situations ...

Population Shape Regression From Random Design Data
Regression analysis is a powerful tool for the study of changes in a dependent variable as a function of an independent regressor variable, and in particular it is applicable to t...

Belief Propagation in a 3D Spatio-temporal MRF for Moving Object Detection
Previous pixel-level change detection methods either contain a background updating step that is costly for moving cameras (background subtraction) or can not locate object positio...

Activity Recognition Using the Dynamics of the Configuration of Interacting Objects
Monitoring activities using video data is an important surveillance problem. A special scenario is to learn the pattern of normal activities and detect abnormal events from a very...
