The problem of recognizing classes of objects as opposed to special instances requires methods of comparing images that capture the variation within the class while they discrimina...
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
One of the biggest challenges in non-rigid shape retrieval and comparison is the design of a shape descriptor that would maintain invariance under a wide class of transformations ...
While supervised learning approaches for 3D shape retrieval have been successfully used to incorporate human knowledge about object classes based on global shape features, the inc...
We1 present a new method to shape-based segmentation of deformable anatomical structures in medical images and validate this approach by detecting and tracking the endocardial bor...
