Extracting moving shapes by evidence gathering
Many approaches can track objects moving in sequences of images but can su er in occlusion and noise, and often require initialisation. These factors can be handled by techniques ...

Kernel PCA for similarity invariant shape recognition
We present in this paper a novel approach for shape description based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). The strength of this method resides in the similarity (rotatio...

Structural Descriptors for 3D Shapes
Assessing the similarity among 3D shapes is a challenging research topic, and effective shape descriptions have to be devised in order to support the matching process. There is a ...

Inference of Human Postures by Classification of 3D Human Body Shape
In this paper we describe an approach for inferring the body posture using a 3D visual-hull constructed from a set of silhouettes. We introduce an appearance-based, view-independe...

Computing a Family of Skeletons of Volumetric Models for Shape Description
Skeletons are important shape descriptors in object representation and recognition. Typically, skeletons of volumetric models are computed using iterative thinning. However, tradi...
