A variational approach to image or video segmentation consists in defining an energy depending on local or global image characteristics, the minimum of which being reached for ob...

In this paper, a close-form B-snake model is presented for contour extraction in medical images. Based on our previous research work [lo], the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) h...
Facial expression modeling is central to facial expression recognition and expression synthesis for facial animation. Previous works reported that modeling the facial expression wi...
Variation in object shape is an important visual cue for deformable object recognition and classification. In this paper, we present an approach to model gradual changes in the ?-...
Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
