Shape matching plays a prominent role in the analysis of medical and biological structures. Recently, a unifying framework was introduced for shape matching that uses mixture-models to couple both the shape representation and deformation. Essentially, shape distances were defined as geodesics induced by the Fisher-Rao metric on the manifold of mixture-model represented shapes....

This paper outlines a geometric parameterization of 2D curves where the parameterization is in terms of geometric invariants and terms that determine an intrinsic coordinate system. Thus, we present a new approach to handle two fundamental problems: single-computation alignment and recognition of 2D shapes under affine transformations....

New representations are developed for 2D IP (implicit polynomial) curves ofarbitrary degree. These representations permit shape recognition and pose estimation with essentially single, rather than iterative, computation, and extract and use all the information in the polynomial coefficients....

In this paper, an original solution for shape representation is proposed which relies on a spatial partitioning approach. The representation selects a discrete set of reference points with respect to which a relationship matrix is computed, accounting for the spatial distribution of shape pixels. This is accomplished at different levels of resolution by a tree based representation....

Diffuse interreflections mean that surface shading and shape are related in ways that are difficult to untangle; in particular, distant and invisible surfaces may affect the shading field that one sees....

We propose a hybrid body representation that represents each typical pose by both template-like view information and part-based structural information. Specifically, each body part as well as the whole body are represented by an off-line learned shape model where both region-based and edge-based priors are combined in a coupled shape representation....

We introduce Hierarchical Procrustes Matching (HPM), a segment-based shape matching algorithm which avoids problems associated with purely global or local methods and performs well on benchmark shape retrieval tests....

This paper presents a shape representation and a variational framework for the construction of diffeomorphisms that establish "meaningful" correspondences between images, in that they preserve the local geometry of singularities such as region boundaries. At the same time, the shape representation allows enforcing shape information locally in determining such region boundaries....
