A framework for mapping a polar-like coordinate system to a non-rigid shape is presented. Using a graph pyramid, a binary shape is decomposed into connected parts, based on its st...
We introduce a class of geodesic distances and extend the K-means clustering algorithm to employ this distance metric. Empirically, we demonstrate that our geodesic K-means algori...
In this paper we propose a real-time method for tracking hands through image sequences. Our method combines efficiently calculated color likelihood maps with a state-ofthe-art int...
We introduce a new shape normalization method based on implicit shape representations. The proposed method is robust with respect to deformations and invariant to similarity trans...
