Autonomous Shape Model Learning for Object Localization and Recognition
— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...

3D active appearance model for aligning faces in 2D images
Abstract— Perceiving human faces is one of the most important functions for human robot interaction. The active appearance model (AAM) is a statistical approach that models the s...

A sketching interface for feature curve recovery of free-form surfaces
In this paper, we present a semi-automatic approach to efficiently and robustly recover the characteristic feature curves of a given free-form surface. The technique supports a s...

Multi-View Face Alignment Using 3D Shape Model for View Estimation
For multi-view face alignment (MVFA), the non-linear variation of shape and texture, and the self-occlusion of facial feature points caused by view change are the two major difficu...

Light Field Appearance Manifolds
Abstract. Statistical shape and texture appearance models are powerful image representations, but previously had been restricted to 2D or 3D shapes with smooth surfaces and lambert...

Inferring 3D Structure with a Statistical Image-Based Shape Model
We present an image-based approach to infer 3D structure parameters using a probabilistic "shape+structure" model. The 3D shape of an object class is represented by sets...

3D Model based Object Class Detection in An Arbitrary View
In this paper, a novel object class detection method based on 3D object modeling is presented. Instead of using a complicated mechanism for relating multiple 2D training views, th...

Sparsity, redundancy and optimal image support towards knowledge-based segmentation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...

3D Probabilistic Feature Point Model for Object Detection and Recognition
This paper presents a novel statistical shape model that can be used to detect and localise feature points of a class of objects in images. The shape model is inspired from the 3D...
