We propose a mathematical approach for quantifying shape complexity of 3D surfaces based on perceptual principles of visual saliency. Our curvature variation measure (CVM), as a 3...

A visual query is based on pictorial representation of conceptual entities and operations. One of the most important features used in visual queries is the shape. Despite its intu...
In order to recognize plant species from their shapes, shapes of contours of leaves can be used. However, contours of leaves are complicated and have variations. In order to deal ...
This paper presents a novel graph cut based segmentation approach with shape priors. The model incorporates statistical shape prior information with the active contour without edg...
The curvature scale space (CSS) technique, which is also part of the MPEG-7 standard is a robust method to describe complex shapes.The central idea is to analyze the curvature of ...
