In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
Defocus can be modeled as a diffusion process and represented mathematically using the heat equation, where image blur corresponds to the diffusion of heat. This analogy can be ext...

Detection and analysis of ocean surface phenomena have so far relied on manual analysis of long sequences of satellite images or images produced from the mathematical models. In t...

In factorization approaches to nonrigid structure from
motion, the 3D shape of a deforming object is usually modeled
as a linear combination of a small number of basis
shapes. T...
Characteristics of the 2D shape deformation in human motion contain rich information for human identification and pose estimation. In this paper, we introduce a framework for sim...
